Had i not followed the progression of your car since the TREX install i would probably doubt your times too. But i remember when you barely had the car in the 11's and the clutch was shot. You've dropped 1.8 seconds from your bolt on times to your cam only times....that's just jaw dropping impressive.

Again, congrats.

yea, i feel that both i and the car have come a long ways
ive learned a ton bout these cars in the last few years and its really paid off
think i went like high 12.2's with boltons minus a few of them at around 3650lbs back at the thunder shootout few years ago
after the cam and slicks went on with the cage and 4.56 gears i smoked the single disk clutch first pass at the n/s shootout in sanantonio and managed a 11.9x with like a 1.9x60ft at 3450lbs
with the new clutch and few more weight mods i managed some 1.4860' times and some high 10's during the summer, borrowed jasons intake and ran this thunder shootout with some 10.7's @3310lbs range and then added the k-member-arms,seat and removed alot of crap and caught some good air and thats what got me to where im at so far, i think along the way i got a lil better handeling a 6speed also. its been a long road and theres no end in sight as of now.

What tire you running?

I cut a few 1.40's with my 28x10.5 ET Drags stock internals but am thinking they will not hold the power of a cam only launch. I did have traction issues but nowhere near as bad as you.

same tire you were runnin, so to get a 1.40 with a stick took tons of suspension work, i think im going to go with a lil different one next time, they seem to be payin off for other guys

Kick *** job SMOKIN01TA.

After reading threads like this, I realize that I need to have my suspension set up done professionally. You're running a better 60' and the same E/T & MPH as my Cam/Nitrous car. Something just doesn't add up on my end.

Once again nice driving SMOKIN01TA!!! Its really cool seeing other 6 speeders kicking ***.

Awesome runs! Now give Jay a call, order the strange brakes, and put the spoiler back on for christs' sake Regardless of how it looks, that is just flying with stock heads! Congrats.
