Default Launch pic from Super Chevy last weekend

No air under the wheel on this pic, but I really liked the way it squatted! 3/4 tank of gas, full interior, no weight reduction at all - to run 12.0s since I still don't have a cage... Went 12.08 with a 1.66 60' on this pass I believe. DA was +2000.

Nice pic, I'm sure if you took the front sway bar off and lightened the car up a bit car would yank them pretty high....

Car looks like it left alright though...

Front sway-bar? What's that? Since I couldn't dial in lower than a 12.00, I had to weigh the car down as much as possible...

Lane that is a nice takeoff. I am still envious of you running 12.00 times in the heat with a stock internal motor. Anyway, that sure is a sweet looking car that is well maintained. Oh, by the way, I cut my first 60 foot in the 1.5 range the other day thanks to the Yank I purchase from your shop. Good luck in future races. Kent1

kinda looks like the rear needs to be stiffened up a lil to me.

btw, removing the swaybar IS weight reduction.

Well, it was my first run of the weekend - and my raceweight was about 150 lbs more than normal(most of it in the rear) - but I figured with the Hals set on 6(drivers side) and 8(passenger) that would be enough, but it sat down hard... Guess the V6 springs are a little too soft at heavier weights.

And I didn't say removing the swaybar wasn't weight reduction - I removed mine for weight TRANSFER.

It does look nice and level though. Do you have subframes or a cage? My car used to jerk only the left up when I had just(engine) bolt ons and its launch looked like ***.

Sweet wheels btw.

I do have sub-frames, but no cage yet... I need an air-bag to help even it out some. It does sit down more on the right rear, even if I tighten up the Hal on that side more. Hopefully, the bag will help that. It just pulls the left front wheel too, when the car is lighter.
