You sure have yourself one hell of a monster there man! The car looks great and is just flying for what you did to it. Keep up the great work!

I got my new stall in last week and so far it feels like it hits hard on the street! I also datalogged the car for the first time to try and verify my new lowered shifty points and ity looks like itys shifting at 6700 hopefully this will be lower at the track with traction.

Kind of bummed out, took the car to the track Friday night and the best pass it made was a 11.16 at 119.4 it was kinda muggy and hot but still hoped for better. It seems like the tune is really dependant or geared for cold weather. The car 60fted faster than ever (1.48) but just didnt have that top end charge like it does in the cold. I guess ill keep looking for more power/ less weight to try and make this a true ten second car regardless of the weather.

Dude, the conditions were horrible. At 6:54pm the DA was 2833ft. If you correct it for sea level, it is :

I'm going to add a bit with BruteSpeed. Get some adjustable rear shocks, (I like the SA QA1's) and an adj tq arm. Best gains I've experienced on a heavier car running similar times was in adjusting the rear shocks and playing with the TQ arm. Dial in a bit less pinion angle, and tightened the shocks up and the car was flying with mid 1.4 short times. just my $.02.

Hi Joel, I wasn't sure on the DA but I was hoping it wasn't good ( I needed some glimmer of hope after going through with that driveway converter swap)

I know you guys are right on with the torque arm/shocks recommendation. I lowered the back of the car 3/4" by cutting the springs and now every other pass it was blowing the tires away at launch . I'm pretty sure the torque arm is going to be my next money mod for this car.

Cutting the springs even 3/4" changed the whole geometry back there. Now you really need that Tq arm. I usually just recommend leaving the rear springs alone. They aren't that tall.

I really want to sell it together but there isn't a lot of interest in it yet. It sucks but I will probably have to part it.
