Its not hitting the tire at all, you need to work on the rear suspension.

didn't mess with the shocks, still set for ETdrags. Only got 3 passes in on 275 tring to get it setup better for the import vs domestic at MIR.

tires 15-16 psi.. seamed to work good? 275 MT on 15x10s
6 comp-8 rebound- rear strange DA
1 front strange SA
2step at 5500 I think 1sat pass. I really thought it was gona spin and I would have to pedal thu 1st. But it didn't

1.513
4.448
10.72 128.8

2nd pass turned 2step up to 5700
spin, But I drove thu some mud in the pits and washed it off half *** in a puddle in the lanes.
1.70
11.03 @ 129 or somthing?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueopt...el_video_title


3rd pass went back to 5600, kinds bogged. but was pulling to right till I got 2 hands on the wheel after 2nd
1.497
4.537
10.82
128.2

Not sure what do do with the shocks?

I have to add about 50 pounds to the car, to make weight. I thinking about bolting a 45 plate to the passanger rear bumper support holes? Or should I keep it centered, like in the T top well?

ya I hear you have to hit DR hard? Even with a t56 and a street clutch. Keep in mind I have about 450 whp and no progressive power control stuff.

6 speed or not, when you leave, you should see the wheel drive the tire into the ground.

stiffen the rear compression up alot more?
Some local that switched to DR said he found you set the rear stiff. like almost opposite of slicks. he runs almost full stiff compression, and almost full loose on the rebound in the back.

Stiff compression and the extension is going to be loose enough to hit the tire hard initally.
