Best short time 1.442 backed by a 1.443
QA1's on all corners. settings. front: 3 Rear: 7 or 8 depends on track.
QA1 front springs, Stock springs in rear.
Side Note: I HATE THE QA1'S. I have tons of rubbing on the top of the inner wheel wells. I am going to step up to Afcos when I get some money. They bounce too much. I have heard that the QA1 R's fix that problem but I am not wasting my money on any of their shocks again.

Thanks for all the feedback. I have a set of Bogart D10's, and I want something sticky I can use on the street (maybe weekends) and at the track. I am thinking ET Street Radial, but any1 have any other prefs? My goal is to cut 1.5 to 1.6 and push the stock rear to its limits until i have to upgrade. 
I know it should take some high 1.50's or slower. And the posi is an Auburn which has been great

Not tough, but don't expect it to last long

Find yourself a big, unused parking lot somewhere and practice launching there with a G-Tech. It's REAL easy to weasle in this time of yr when all the amusement parks are closed
It's one way to get race-ready for spring...
