About 6" with 275/60/15 BFG drag radials. 1.5-1.6 60' on the motor. Can't launch on the nitrous. Can't keep them from spinning.

3-4"'s on the driver side about 2-3" on the passenger. That's with stock 245's on the front and 255/60/16 MT radials out back. 6 speed.

This is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. You call madman out and then say sorry. You have no idea what it takes to put a car on the bumper, nor do you no the difference from 1in off the ground to 20in off the ground and how it effects the launch.

Another dumb statement. Reason being the person driving the car and doing the suspension on that car in that picture was me. We had been doing 1.27 to 1.30 60fts all day. Then the only thing we did was take out 175lbs out of the middle of the car where the back seats go. (We had 2 big medal plates bolted to the floor) Pulled up to the line and did everything just the same as the pass before. The car touched town 210ft out. But the thing that makes me laugh at your statement is that it didn't do any damage except for put a little dent in one single primary on drivers side header and that was all. Never fixed that dent and went to the track the next weekend. Not everyone slams the car down. Since then we have found that travel limiters make a huge difference but that is not a forsure thing and every track is different.

taking almost 200# out of the car and not changing anything in the suspension just proves my point exactly CJ. good call.... just like Lydia's car at SAR last year when it got on the bumper and then into the wall, weather, track and EVERYTHING else changed from friday night when the car was running good to saturday morning when it hit the bumper...attention to detail.

where is the "i drug the bumper and i now have Madman travel limiters and save your *** bars on my drag radial car"? Ben (OU812) has done the same thing. If i am not mistaking he holds the record for longest wheelie on a drag radial. like 178' down the track. And its and LT1 car.

I have seen 2 or so feet on the new hoosiers while atvracr and shiznitty have seen there cars go 12 oclock and banged up because they didnt have the mad man save your *** travel limiters on there drag radial cars

opps, i didn't read the 210 footer. oh well. i do have to say this. My car was pulling off 4' to 5' wheelies even when i put the travel limiters on. we set them to the middle setting and it did the same thing. i adjusted the travel limiters one notch tighter and on the next pass the car looked like it was attached to a sling shot. No wheelie and i lost .06 on the 60' which could be partly to blame on a poorly preped track. I normally cut 1.32 60' times with a small wheely. that pass was a 1.38 60' with no wheely. it was cutting 1.42 on the 4' to 5' wheelies. I would have to agree that they look good in the air but if it is costing me on the short time. i like the small wheelies. all that to say, what ever it takes to make the car work on launch is what you should shoot for.

That is what I am wondering, I seem to spin the first few feet out of the hole. I kept trying to get rid of that but nothing seems to help. So now I just take is as a nessesary evil.

Also as Madman said, my car seems to 60' better with the front wheels about a foot off the ground. I'm not incredibly consistent in my 60's depending on the prep I am anywhere from a 1.49 to a 1.40 but either way, with the wheels in the air the car seems to 60' better. I am not running on DR's though.

if the tire didnt spin it would trip the beam and then put it on the bumper instantly. we all spin.

isn't a 4th gen but it's the rear suspension on a radial. and the bumper has some scrapes too.

Red01Chevy

give me a break it still takes horsepower to put it on the bumper im a bracket racer and if i spin the slightest little bit 1 inch or so im pissed to no end . dont get me wrong if you keep the wheels a couple inches off the ground it will be quicker but when you loose a race because you cant get to stripe youl want it on the bars every pass

i guess you should crew those NHRA/IHRA stockers then?

Red01Chevy

im just saying that it takes horsepower to put it on the bumper
not just a hooking track you deffanently have something wrong if you cant hook on radials we run 30" hoosier radials on the corvette and it is allways on the bars and it only spins if there is something on the track .Late model f bodies are some of the best factory racecars ever produced look at how many stockers and super stockers are out there
