That one pass where you carried the fronts for a long time is sick.
LOL, if only I had shifted 2nd. I was trying to concentrate on not lifting for so long that I forgot to shift. That was LS2Formula smoking my *** in the lane next to me on that pass. For fuel I run stock lines back to a Racetronix Plug-n-pray pump setup. For the spray I have a HarrisSpeedWorks dedicated fuel cell system that mounts on the driver's side. Here's what it looks like under the hood except for the battery is inthe trunk now. You will note the old Nitrous outlet 90mm plate between the intake and the TB. I just have it capped until I get a longer piece of poly tubing to make up the gap from the TB to the lid.

And only 200 more shot of spray LOL. we'll get it down there. I'm sure. You must drive it and feel the difference. Totally gives you a different sensation as the gforces arent on your back.Feels more like a falling sensation.

Your car looked great on Sat. As was mentioned you need to put some travel limiters on the car to help keep the front end down and if you set the front shocks stiffer it helps to keep it down. Maybe give Madman or BMR a call. If you go up on the bumper the back tires come off the ground and you fall like a rock and break alot of stuff.

I'm not really all that concerned about how it is going up as this is not a "race car" and it will only make 4-6 trips to the drag strip all year. Next time that I go to the track, I may try putting the battery back up front. It works great like this on the street which is where I handle most of my business.

Noice. +1 on the travel limiters, I have them on the turbo Formy and the car barely picks up the fronts, Madman's limiters are great.

No, I was there watching my buddy run his '02 Firehawk. My T56 needs a rebuild which won't happen for a while.

Take it somewhere that can make that t56 an auto. Trust me, you'll never look back.
