Imagine how fast it would have went if they had the chassis working like it is now! Didn't he go big mph like 161? Hell my turbo junk went a 70 with 161 mph and only a 1.358 60' so nitrous you figure he would have gone a solid 8.50 on an average pass w/ the current chassis...

Suspension components are the same...but he made some instant center and various changes so that the car actually WORKS now instead of just going on the bumper or spinning the tires...

Still stock-suspension on 28 inch et streets or 28 x 10.5 slicks depending on the event or whatever...there are a few other tricks but like I said, same parts but they found the sweet-spot per say.

That is good news he stayed with the stock style suspension. Hope we can find the sweet spot on mine!

Thanks Tony...and good luck with the record. I hope you beat my mph. I really can't see why the mph nitrious record has held up for so long. The ET record for spray....baffles me in the same way. Go do it!

Looks good! Are those "W" tires? Looks pretty wide. Hell of a straight launch! Good weight transfer.

Nope those are actually my 30inch ET streets. The car works better on 28's but this pic is a few years old. I was trying something different back then. Thanks for the compliment.
