Default Couple launch pics from this season. Bone stock suspension/bolt on only LT1 car





I think she is launching pretty good for what she is. I am not even full bolt ons yet, and im still riding on Bone stock suspension and also have bone stock 3.23 gears. A4 with a SS3600. 3245lbs raceweight (according to track scale) 1.68 60ft



Oh! and i won that night's "King of the hill" bracket race! I beat two box cars and a bunch of footbrake cars on my way to victory! It was def a good night for racing for me! i was just really on my game that night!

looking good. i see wheelstands in your future with a little more power.
everyone wants to see what its like to go up, but coming down for the first time is guaranteed to scare the **** out of you especially when you dont expect it like i did lol
i should hit up NED next year but ill probably still get beat by all the LT1's just like at LVD

Congrats on the win! Car looks good and runs a great number!

I remember when I had my 350 TPI GTA I could hang with LT1's through first, but then they would walk away. I got my LT1 and was thinking I finally had some decent top end pull. Then I raced a few LS1's and I would hang through first, after which they would walk away...doh, haha.

Gimmie that car for 1 day and 1200 bucks and you will bypass 12's and go strait into the 11's.



Tony the car looks good, ya finish the bolton's and ditch the highway rear end ratio and the car should pick up alot. It will make for a better bracket car too, car will get out of the gates alot quicker.

yea definetly. i still need to do rockers which supposevly pick up a decent amount of power. and i need to throw some decent gears in there like u said. im thinking about going 4.10's with a 28" tire but im not sure yet. the taller tire will just make the car more consistant and the gear will def get the car to launch harder. i still have some weight reduction to do too. the goal is an 11.9x pass bolt on only. then enough with the small crap and plan out a real motor like you guys have!

im hoping pinks all out comes to new england dragway soon. i want to run that event so bad! or maybe if it comes to englishtown agian and if i have a trailer i will tow down to race. i've only raced at NED i kinda want to expirence other tracks.

Lebannon isn't that far, they have a decent bracket program on sunday's that you could enter (electronics/no electronics classes)

Etown's a great facility, you'll go there once and then never look at NED the same way that's for sure. NO DIRT that you have to pit in, everything's clean, track prep, usually o.k. to good.
