Default Went to Norwalk today for a rental and...

I didn't improve on my ET but I ran a 9.42 at 151 mph. Last year at Milan's Race Warz I went 9.33 at 148 but wheel standed on the next pass. I installed front end limiters over the winter and I blame them for todays passes. has anyone had any luck with these things? I really don't want to have to install wheelie bars on a stock suspension 3rd gen.

I use the limiters on evey car I build. They work is you get them properly adjusted.

1/8th mile times were 6.10 and 6.12 at 118mph.

I only made one adjustment to the limiters while making passes. As of right now each wheel has about 4" of travel and the front leave's evenly. What is a good starting point for the Hal 12 way single adjustable rear shocks? I had them a 6 clicks from -0 and that seems to be the best setting so far. Anybody running them in the + range?

Matt, my best at Milan last year was 1.37 at Racewarz with some really good track prep. I guess I need some more track time to figure it out. We'll run soon but you may want a few just in case it hook's.

You may want to jet it up so you can catch me.
