It comes up about a foot off the ground now and settles down nicely. I'm changing up a few things for this year but the same basic setup. Just pushing about 22psi and 21* timing at .75 lambda on e85. Should get it down. The car is full weight at 3685lbs without me in it so I'm always fighting that weight but don't want to strip the car down.

My car weighs 3040 with nothing hole sawed and completely stock appearance including interior. Something to consider.

1 ft up isnt bad at all. When you said looking at the sky I figured a couple few feet. You want the tires to lift a little just to put all weight on the rears but not too much. Sounds like your on the right track.

I had to get the front dialed in but it use to get on the bumper. Not so bad now and it's gone quicker as a result.

Some of us race our cars. You seem to like your dyno number. Just go race it and show everyone how your trap speed "means" your car is a 9 second car.

I'll have my junk back running very soon, I only do track grudge events, and I highly doubt you will bring enough money to even make it worth me unloading the car, nevermind driving all the way from CT.

If you ever make up in the Cecil county or further north area be happy to take your money. All of it, and your friends too if they're dumb enough.

Chances are they'll be betting against you by the end of the burnout lol
