Re: New best with Thunder Cam!! Justin
Nics videos and website.
I hope you dont mind me asking, whats with the slow mph? Do you have a heavy car? Was air quality poor? With 400hp I thought you should have at least hit 120 especially since you were getting decent traction. <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">

Re: New best with Thunder Cam!! Way to go Justin! The Rev Lok II sounds very interesting. Is the steel flywheel the same as on previous McLeod clutches ?
Just to let you know, your old driveshaft has held up to all my recent 10 second runs, but I've got another used aluminum coming from a guy out west, just in case.

Re: New best with Thunder Cam!! James1, I have BMR lower control arms but do not have relocation brackets. If you have traction you won't have wheelhop. <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0">
Leon, not sure what the car weighs but one of these days I'm going to weigh it. The 12 bolt is heavier, not sure how much though. The air was decent, 70s, 50% humidity. My best mph of the day was 116.6mph on a 1.65 60'.
Thanks Mickey! Glad the driveshaft is holding up for you. I'll have to find out about the flywheel, but I'll get back with you on that.

Re: New best with Thunder Cam!! I have 4.10s but thinking of 4.30s. I am only crossing the traps at 6100rpm and I know it can leave harder off the line with more gear. I don't want to go with a 28" tire unless it fits witout modification to the fender. Plus I think 4.30s would be too much for street races.

Re: New best with Thunder Cam!! hey just what gears did you go with. I went with 4.30s and like them but I need deeper gears. I have been shooting the thought of going with some 4.88 or some 5.13s. But you have 26inch tires and I am running a 28 11.5 et street. I am going to order me some 28 10.5w et drags here soon.

Re: New best with Thunder Cam!! awesome guys! pro kit is going on order with some x mas money!..
how do you control these things going down the track.. my car swerves all over the place between shifts.. and thats running 25psi in them (26*11.5 et streets) and to that.. the size differece turns on my abs inop light and i cant stop at the end of the 1/4. any suggestions?
i know skinnies will help the swerving.. but i know it does this while holding the wheel completely still.. if i hit the gas it will turn right and when i let off it will turn left..
tracks completely straight with the nittos or regular tires.
