Default "Props to Madman"

We have been fighting the suspension on the car all year. We drove down to Carolina Dragway this pass weekend to get some ideas from Madman, he put us in the right direction. After little tuning, we got the car to hook.

The car went 8.65 @ 160 a couple of weeks ago. We managed a 1.39 sixty on that run. After Madman told us what to try we got this



1.35 sixty on the rears


After a little more tuning, we got it down to a 1.2x sixty. Not even touching the bars.

Big thanks to Madman. You are the man. Now send me some parts

Ryan

Stay tuned for the record breaking pass

MADMAN is the man when it comes to suspension and the quality of his parts is outstanding!

Congrads on the 1.2x
What's your set-up?

Nice!

Madman seems to have a handle on hooking up high HP cars.

The 1.2 60' without touching the bars is VERY impressive

Up the jets and break the record !

Thanks man, how is your car running?


I think we can do it with the small jets. If we pick up over a tenth in the sixty, we should get 2/10 in the 1/4. That should put us around the 8.4X mark.

We will see.

Its coming along slowly, I have'nt been working on it much.
We are getting Shiznity's car ready for the Pump Gas Drags in 3 weeks so his is the main concern now.
When we get back we will take mine out, not looking to set any records just an 8.9x pass.


I think your right when mine 60' good it picks up a good bit on the other end.
That car is just SICK! Are you guys going to make it to the LSX race in Memphis?

awesome results!

I still can't figure out how you guys make the cars hook with such seemingly high tire pressures [judging by the very very little wrinkle in the tire sidewall]

I have not been able to hook the car like I used to with a new more aggressive clutch. All I do is spin off the line LOL

Way to go Madman, "mad props yo!"
