A M6 car needs the Bias ply, period. With out it, your just fighting with the car and thats no fun on race day.

Playing with shocks are key, as well as considering a 2 step if your still having issues.

Brandon looking good now when your ready stop by and will throw on the Bogarts with the 26x10.5x15 MT ET streets and make some suspension changes so you can let that thing leave the way it should.

The car pulling hard to muscle out some ETs and MPH with the soft 60's.

Let see what it can do with a 60 like Rob pulled 1.4's should be 10.X all day

Dont go BIAS!!! Everyone is biased about the bias and I'm biased against the byassed.

Radials have plenty of grip and MPH better, more stable on the big end!

I'm on the fence with that since my best 60', MPH and ET was with bias ply..Granted it was BP w/FRs vs Radial w/street fronts.. Going to try and experiment with that this week.

It sucks being away for so long doen't it...

I agree that steping away from a DR would be a good way to go. The DR's can work on a 6spd car, but the slick will work more consistantly.

Of all the felt I ever felt, I never felt a piece of felt which felt as fine as that felt felt, when first I felt that felt hat's felt.

Those are some nice runs man! Few suggestion not that they mean anything, put the rears or 7 or 6 to be safe, get a 2 step, spray it, and an auto? That should put you pretty far into the 10's

lemme think..... 2 pedal?? i think not, im a real man that like to row the gears,

id rather run high 10s then run auto and a brake.

if i had the knowledge and the time, id play w/ the sus to get it right w/ the DRs. but im itching to get that 10.70/80s CO so that i can finally but my tfs 215s on

tommy im thinking maybe next tues nite.

w/ a prepped track and the sus dialed in im hoping for mid 1.4s shouldnt be hard since ive gone 1.49 and a **** ton of low 1.50s

thanks guys
