Default New eighth mile best

Just alittle update on our car. We finally made the switch to a true slick a set of 28x10x16 Hossiers. They got us a best of 1.48, 60' and a 6.5 @ 106 in the eighth. Still more to come as still tuning the suspension. We had to make some quick changes for them to fit and they still rubbed. On Sunday I cut some metal away an d got out the hammer. I also found that the rear was off a good 1/2" front to rear. No wonder the car was pulling right.
You can see a video of us on Hot Rod Gossip. We are racing a 4 sec 3rd gen. As he was crossing the line and pulling the chute here we come.
The vid does show me treeing him and the car having a nice launch.

No the spring isolators have been removed. Stock 1LE rear springs. We are thinking of changing them out they are a progessive spring.
