Changes I'm making on my quest for a 9 sec pass
My changes for the same .16 lol:
New hoosier slicks with softer sidewall and compound than my 1.5yr old MTs-- $320
Moving my air filer in my foglight "nook" instead of behind my radiator-- $350
Cooler air---free
We'll find out if that's enough this Saturday! Still on about 10-12psi.

The plan is to start at 7 psi and work up from there. I'm not going to change anything but the tires until I see how they affect my times. I'd like to see if going to 18psi on this higher octane increases my mph at all. If I can go 1.45-1.55 60's all the time I'll always be in the high 9 low 10 sec range. BTW, my only susp mod is LCA's, rest is stock stuff, torque arm is stock but adjustable.
Yes, my fabricator does't have time. The smallest pipe is 2.25" so I know it's holding me back some with my 450 ft/sec velocity. I wish I could do some of it myself, but I have no space and almost lost a battle with a cut off tool yesterday. Watching me use power tools is like watching a monkey hump a football.

If I go a 1.50 60' I'll go 9.80's on the same setup I have. My 10.15 is on a 1.61. The car is really sensative to the 60', 1.65 = 10.29. 0.04 better 60' was worth 0.14 of ET. My 330's should drop big time on this tire.

Verdad Gallardo Not yet. That is one of my next couple mods. Its a MUST. My car wouldn't stick with my 1.5yr old bald stiff sidewall ET drags when I would wood it on the Tbrake, so its been tough trying to find a sweet spot with out it.
Hopefully with the new slicks I can get more agressive with my launch. The 1.5s were coming on MAYBE 3/4 throttle and 1-2psi.

I know, I'm just joking with you. You'll go 9's and you aren't even working that turbo. Since it cooled off here my car is spool WAAAY faster than before.
