Default Tapout911 goes to the track

Well it was 105 degrees out and the track temp was 143. This was first day out after making some changes. On the pass in the video below, I had a 60 foot of 1.58 compared to my usual mid to low 1.4s. Hopefully the 60 foot comes back down and I see some solid 10s on motor. Ill probably end up saying screw the motor passes and go ahead with the nitrous lol.

what is your launch technique with no transbrake that's still getting you low 1.4's???

I launch the **** out of my car on the brake and i've got more power (126-127 trap speeds NA) and my car has gone a best of 1.50 on motor....

I've got 3.89 gears which aren't the best for motor passes but still.... The car yanks the wheels a good foot everytime I launch.... and everytime I get 1.5x!

I just bump it into the lights at 1800 rpm and let it eat lol. Convertor hits around 3600-3800 and off we go. I run a 4.11 gear and 27x11.5 quick time pros. Right now its putting close to the rev limit on the big end so Im gonna have to make some changes to spray it, or just run 1/8 mile lol. Heres the pass in my sig

They are just single adjustables set on the softest setting. I really thought I was gonna have to upgrade to some afcos, but if it keeps hooking this good, I aint touching it lol.
