Default NEW BEST's with room to improve

>>UPDATE on car :went out to US41 and was happier then ever,besides now losing ignition on the car on the pass that i have been waiting for over a year for i am still smiling ear to ear.I have to do some investigating next week to try and still make it to N v's S.

well here it is>>>>>>>>>>>
I am not sure on the exact weather conditions but temp was about 65 degree's.

changes since last time:
Bogart RT welded
15x3 w/26x4.5 Hoosier fronts
15x10 w/26x10 Hoosier drags

and Corbeau TRS seats in leather which added about 40+ lbs.

The car weighs in at about 3500lbs. I have done a few weight reduction(ac/heat,air bags,rear seat,low mount altenator,k-member/a-arms,manual rack,manual brakes,steering wheel,front sway bar,hood) but added the 10pt cage,heavier seats and a bunch of pretty things under the hood.

quick info on car:
96 Z28
RGR 383 solid roller 252/622 111lsa,RGR S2 LT1 heads
Hooker LT's w/ 4" Mufflex
TH400 w/Vig 4200
Moser 9" w3.90 and spool
n/a 415rwhp 424rwtq
TNT 572rwhp 628rwtq(200 shot&a bit lean),car likes to be fat

best N/A
11.08 off foot brake
122 mph
1.51 60ft

best N20
>The first pass i really babied out of the gates 10.1 @ 135.9 1.53 60ft.
>best ET 10.0 (1.44 60ft)and back fired,lost ignition and died at the 1000ft mark and coasted to a 121 mph,this would have been my 9.8 pass that i wanted and on my first time out

The spray runs were off the foot brake and rolling quickly into the throttle.I have to get a Race rear sway bar on the car,it's a hand full but fun

I run the car as i drive it on the street other then changing tires.This is a street car and driven alot on the dry days.

I will have the video's up soon

the drag bar will definitly help you out a ton. i was standing behind you on the last pass, you were driving the hell out of that thing . i was a little confused as to why the car was torquing over so much since i thought you already had a drag sway bar on it so that makes sense now. i have a Wolfe on mine. car launches flat and goes straight, even without any preloading on the sway bar so far.

Daren your car looked good,launched straight and ran a great #.

The car was definetly a hand full,i can't wait to get it to stick and run a real time.
