Default Ran today on street tires.

REAL street tires....315/35/17 Nitto 555 (not 555R which is a Drag radial) at stock air pressure
9psi of boost
60' 1.86
1/8 7.14 @ 105
1/4 10.77 @ 136

DA was 3041 which was not too bad since it was 95 degrees.
Check this...raceweight was 4095#
I think I can get a 10.5x out of it. I think I am more excited about this than the 9.59s on slicks.

You got bricks in the trunk or something? Why does your car weigh so much?

That MPH is good for 9.8's all day long with a proper 60' on some sticky tires.

How the hell can you get that kind of 60ft with those tires and your power ?
Do you use a ramping on the boost controller? I blow my 275/17 nitto drags off in 1st and 2nd and some of third at only 8psi with my 408 with 3.54 gears.

When I tried my nittos at local track even prepped days with other cars and lower power levels can't get a 60 ft below 2.0 on them if my life depended on it and you get this amazing 60ft with not even the drag nittos.

Great job for sure. Must be hard to keep it off the wall though on those.Or GOD himself must prep that track.

Looks like your suspension is not setup to run in a straight line.

no grunt down low....yes even with the 408.......3.08 gears.....heavy compressor wheel so it spools slow....tight converter...car is heavy and throttle management.
I set my Koni DA shocks to:
front- 10 clicks hard on compression...full soft on rebound
rear 3 clicks on compression....1 turn from full hard on rebound
no front swaybar

i footbraked it to like 2700 rpms i think

some of the weight is:
iron block +80
4l80 +80
roll bar +60
8.8 rear +20
boombox +50
turbo +50
intercooler +30
