Default Semi finals again in TTT5 true street 1.27 60ft on 275/60s

First round we get a bi cause the other guy broke a tail shaft.
5.63@122 with a 1.29 60ft.
Second round we run the number one qualifier and go:
5.60@121.4 with a 1.27 60ft.
He ran a 5.502@126........I treed him and 60fted him hard and he still came around me at the end but .05......Damn it. Hard to compete with these boys that get to weigh in 100lbs lighter and have more power then our little hydrolic roller street motor. We are 3260lbs.


Thx madman....I think it was the track at Denton that was the problem. We hit it just like we did when we went the 1.28 60ft, but brought it on alittle faster and we went to more 1.2x 60fts. We turned the 2step on also and that car seems to really like the 2step. Those tires like to get the **** shocked out of them.

I see if I can download it later. It is only the short time that it got cause we were zoomed in on what the suspension was doing on the launch. It carried the tires alot higher then it usually does. I am surprised it caught the 60ft box with the front tires.

On the 1.28 and the 1.29 60fts, the car came up about 12ins and rode it out to just before the 60ft.

The 1.27 60ft was about 36ins in the air for awhile.

i never would have thought 42lbs injectors would be enough to spray that much dry. also, how does the computer enrichen for the dry stuff without a MAF? IAT?

It's a 350 wet shot. Weldon 2345 pump, Weldon 2045 regulator, 2 Weldon 40 micron fuel filters and a 5 gallon cell in the nose. We run 60 PSI of fuel pressure for both motor and N20. Nitrous is going thru a Speedtech plate. The info you see in his signature is about his car, the car we are talking about and in the video is my car with him driving.

You bring the nitrous on full tilt off the brake?
Who's torque arm? What hole?
You set the rear tighter than you would with a slick?
Going to start testing some 275's real soon...

We have a NOS digital controler for the bottle. I really like this controller. IMO better then the rest for the money. We are ramping the bottle in. (How much and when is a secret)
Custom torque arm. Wolfe bar with front modified like the madman bar. We only have one hole to put it in with this bracket, so we calculated where we wanted it and welded the tabs. We are going to add more for adjustablitly but that is goin to be in the off season.
Shocks are pretty tight, Usually the same for slick or radials if the track is good enough. Got to watch it though, the radials will put you on the bumper quick if the rear is tight and the track is good.


Sorry for the misunderstanding about the cars. My car hasn't run in about a year. It sits in my garage and collects dust. It should be out within the next month. Shooting for 7s on the radials. I am about 55psi with 84lb injectors and they are maxed out. BS3 does it all for me.
