Well here are my times...
1st run- Left the car in Drive and the car shifted at 80ish into 3rd.
14.192 @ 99.71
60'ft- 2.293

2nd run-Left the car in second w/ TC on
14.257 @ 102.22
60'ft- 2.455

3rd run- Left the car in second w/ TC off
14.280 @ 102.76
60'ft-2.501

So basically I couldn't launched the car for **** with the Falcon's I have one her. Should have used my Eagle F1's instead... oh well it turned out to be a pretty fun night and I was very happy with my 1/4 mile trap speed.

Does the TC kill anyone else? I feel like I can get more out of her but it grabs me even if I have it turned "off".

When I first got my car I ran a 14.1. Recently I just ran the car at BeechBend park in Bowling Green, KY and I ran a 14.2 @97 with a 2.0 60 ft. With some milage I was hoping it would run harder, esspecially since I've noticed the car hangs out in 4 cylinder mode more often(makes me think think the driveline has loosend up). The only thing that makes me wonder is that there was track prep from end to end, as I was running odown the track it looked alittle dark on the traveled portion plus the tires sounded like i was running on some kind of liquid....I also think I had the air pressure on my drag radials too low, 15 psi. And finally when to up shift to 3rd gear. Getting out of the hole was kinda easy....and a lot of fun The 3000 RPM stall and then let it go I felt like a superstar LOL!
