Planned on Capitol (possibly .05 quicker) today but the radar looked like it was still raining there at 9am so I went to Mason Dixon again.

It could possibly be the way the suspension is setup. My car doesnt get to much height maybe none at all on low 1.5's even on a 1.46 I think it might of only lifted the tire a bit.
Congrats to N20Dave, why does his car lift like that on 1.47 when my car barely gets a couple inches on a 1.42?
We run a softlock adjustable clutch that can be adjusted for base pressure and arm counterweight. At the moment it is adjusted all the way tight with no slip. When the car launches it pulls the wheels about 2 feet high, bogs the motor, drops the wheels and then goes. We have the clutch setup for nitrous so I don't want to mess with it on motor. If I started pulling some base pressure out I could get it to slip just enough to carry the wheels and stay in the power band. According to our data logs, I should be able to get the 60's down in the low 1.30's on the motor and probably run 9.60's.
So in other words it's launching like a 1.30 car but only going 1.47's because of the bog if that makes sense.
On the spray I should be able to tune it into the low 1.20's and run 8.80's.
BTW, nice car. Gotta love an evil looking black Z that runs bottom 10's.
