AC is rockin DRs again! I wasnt happy with the Hoosier QTP 28"s or Comp 3way rear shocks after the last few times to the track. The tires would either spin bad or hook and bog with lots of tire shake, and the shocks like auto cars IMO. Just wouldnt work good for me.
So I bought some new MT Sportman fronts and some MT 275/60-15 drag radials. I also bought a pair of new Madman valved AFCO rear shocks to get this car working right!!
So as of now im gonna keep the M6 till it breaks and run a DR with the help from Madman.
Heres the car on DRs and Im installing the shocks tomorrow and ill get better pics tomorrow, hitting the track sunday.

They are way better than the ET Fronts I did have and lighter than a radial.
Goin Sunday weather permiting. They rubbed the rocker and bumper on my car, not as streetable and I think the sidewalls were to soft for a M6 car. At 14psi they roasted them off the line and at 12 bogged with lots of tire shake. I think with the help of Madman I can get the DRs to work with the stiffer but taller sidewall.
Weird Mine dont rub at all, I do have a narrow rear which mite help and been a differnt car also. Hope it works out and be intrested to see your results. What was your best 60ft in the car?

nice man. hopefully she hooks.
you got that vid in right as i was posting.
what RPM are you launching at?
1.68 is pretty good for a 6 speed car! shoudlve left it alone, hopefully youll get better results tho. I have a slip of a mustang GT 5 speed i raced going 11.6's and cutting a 1.715 60 on the same 275/60/15's, they are pretty good hooking tires.

Can't wait to see your results. I am still sticking to the fact the car needs more then the shocks it has and unless you get track prep from GOD, you probably wont best your 60 foot but possibly better your ET by a little.
Good Luck!
Good Luck!
I saw your thread in the drag racing tech section, I'm curious to see how much those afcos help! Good luck on Sunday 
btw...what made you choose the MT DRs over the Hoosier DRs? After watching Alan's car on them at the shootout, I was sold on the Hoosiers...

What about me ? I went 1.42 on the Hoosiers at the shootout.
Thanks Mike, I have some issues to sort out with the tune maybe the maf ? The car should ET and mph a little better than it does but, I'm still happy with it for a HR street car until I can get the new combo together.
