No, it wasn't busy. The rain kept a lot of people away just like I hoped.

Time to stiffin the rear suspension up a little and add some wheel limiters to the front. That should plant the tires harder and give a better reaction time. Just a though though.

Yeah I have to mess with the rear shocks a little. They are the Comp 3-way adjustable set on 50/50, and I have the QA1 "R"s in the front set on fully soft. Pinion angle is -3* and tire pressure is 17* hot.

If you are not spinning, you might eke out a bit more by playing with the suspension, but you also might need more power or converter to 60ft harder, what converter are you running now?

No it isn't spinning at all. My previous best 60ft was 1.57 at U.S. 41 in a little better DA. I have a Yank PT4400 converter in a FLT Stage 4 4l60e and a 3.42 gear in the 10 bolt. I need an underdrive pulley, a bigger gear (either 3.90 or 4.10) and more weight taken out. I will be going to a 28x9 ET Drag with the bigger gear and replacing the front radials with an ET Front for NMCA contingency. Here is my full mod list which can be seen on my FQuick page:

15x4 Centerline Convo Pros w/ Kumho 165R15 radials
15x7.5 Centerline Convo Pros w/ 275/50/15 Mickey Thompson ET Street radials

Suspension/Chassis:
UMI subframe connectors
UMI chrome moly torque arm
Spohn lower control arm relocation brackets
Spohn chrome moly lower control arms
Spohn chrome moly panhard rod
Spohn chrome moly 1" rear sway bar
QA1 "R" front drag shocks w/ 275lb springs
Competition Engineering rear drag shocks w/ stock, cut springs

My car should be faster. It is off by about a half second. Two tenths are from DA, but the other three I don't know.

About 4800 or so. It is kinda hard to see when launching the car at the track. I haven't dynoed it since I replaced the TCI converter for the Yank.
