I missed a good weekend for running here.

I gotta either fix this ignition cut or take it off.

I take anything you say or post with a big grain of salt. You do it for youtube publicity. I can run 13s all day without being half the *** you are in the 10s.

Lmao! That's always been a concern for me w/ NOS. I like things to be clean, and the wiring that has to be done, can be a nightmare!

The butthurt is strong here.
It's all good man. It only took you 4 more cylinders, 145 more horsepower at the wheels, and running at one of the fastest tracks in the country to beat my SUV by less than a tenth of a second.

You should be proud!

It's okay guy. One day you will save enough YouTube earnings to be able to afford more than your Grandma's Buick and a shitty Subbie box.

I don't wanna hear it. I've done so much wiring in my 86 I wanna take a machete to the harness.

From 12.8's to 12.0's I'd say thats a great improvement. Those 26 or 28" tires? If they are 26's then I'd say the rear is squatting bigtime. What the rear susp consist of?

That Subbie is probably the cleanest one I have ever been in. Very far from being shitty. I dare to say it was almost like it rolled off the showroom floor. I highly doubt the Buick is any different.

I went 12.8 on radials I think lol. It's been a solid 12.3 car and went 12.1s all day yesterday. Previous best before that was 12.19. Of course that's high 12s to the Hio crew, so you know. But it's a Moser 9" with 3.90s, torque arm in 2nd from top, BMR LCAs (non adjustable) and Koni yellows set at 50% firm/soft yesterday (right in the middle) which helped a lot. I am honestly not sure what the pinion angle is set at but do need to check that. Launch was a 5k clutch dump at 17psi hot on the QTPs, 26x11.5.

Bitemark46

Oh ok gotcha. Not that familiar with Hoosiers but QTP's are like ET Streets right? Why so high on the psi? I used to run BFG and Nitto DR's and always put them at 16psi hot.

From my expereince and speaking with many guys in heads up classes that:

good prep: go tighter on the shock settings
bad prep: go softer

kinda the same with tire pressure:

Good prep: higher psi
bad prep: lower psi

As far as PA make sure you measure it with someone in the drivers seat. If you have all rubber bushings you set it at -3 to -4*. Urethane bushings set it at -2 to -3 and all soild bushings -1 to -2.

Hoosier QTP's are comperable to the MT ET's, but some people think they are better and others think they are worse. I'm not sure as I haven't used both. My buddy has had better luck with the MT's over the QTP's, but that is the only feedback I've gotten on them.

The PSI was at 17 because I was setting them high and going down from there. I could've lowered it yesterday but I'm not sure if it would have helped, track went to garbage because of all the street tires and they only prep it once at the start or if something breaks. I spun my *** off even on the 1.76 pass which is why I was surprised about it being so low - I went 1.70s a few other times but not as good. I would think the car could do high 1.6s on a well prepped track and good launch. Tons of pollen too didn't help. My rear shocks were set at full soft but the car wasn't working - I had never changed these. Fronts also at full soft. Mr. E and Heater saw the car biting then setting the front down before the 1-2 shift which I knew was killing the car but thought it was the driving - tightening the shocks got it to stay up and worked a lot better the first pass after. I will have someone over when adjusting the PA...he will be lighter than me by probably 100lbs though. I have urethane bushings so I'll take a measurement of where it is and then go from there.

Everything I've read they are much better. I've only had one person tell me different locally...and all I knew from him was "he doesn't like them" - haven't really asked much else. 90% of forum posts you read praise them over ET Streets.

That may very well be true. He is the one that started down talking his car (down 4 cylinders and down 145hp). I was just continuing that when I said it was shitty.

Not sure of the history between those two, but coming from the outside, his condescending remarks about him being the best driver in the world were uncalled for. Which is the reason I even said anything. At the end of the day the other guy was faster than him. Who the **** cares why or how he was faster?
