Default 60ft best on radials
To give some info on my Torque arm and the potential. Sunday nite with BFG drag radials we went 1.28 60 ft. There is more left so the adjustability is there. We will see this weekend at No Problem. Could there be a new 60ft record with drag radials??????????????????????????????????????

MADMANS right our turbo car went 1.28 on BFG's.... Hopefully we can turn up the boost at no problem this weekend and get that number down even more....

MADMAN, looks like you and I will have to leave Thursday, we have to put the motor in Friday before the race. I'll call you tomorrow with the specifics....
