Funny/shitty thing is it was only a 1.57 60ft lol. if I can get this thing to go 1.29/1.3 I know the mid 8's will come easy! Mighty Mouse did it, I just need to nut up and do it on a good track lol.

badass pic!
must have a good converter and a good turbo meh thinks.
flash its actually a transformance build on the trans tho it does have a rossler brake on it.
feel free to fool with the shocks but the tigter the track is the tighter it likes to run all 4.
you are right about the way it launches. the harder you can hit the tires out the gate the better shot you have at sticking them 60' out.

Yes, leaving off the transbrake will plant the tires harder sooner so it wont be as easy to break the tires loose 60ft out there. Since you left of foot brake, you were not planting the tires on the line so when the power would come in 60ft out it would most likely spin the tires. MORE POWER on starting line will help you farther out. =) Great runs, that car must be a blast a drive.

But is this what you're talking about? Ever since I made more power, I can't seem to get down the track straight anymore...and Im still having issues with my nitrous right at the hit so I can't launch hard at all...

I don't have the experience of Steven or Mighty Mouse but it looks like you have little to no weight transfer so it doesn't set your suspension. So like Steven and MM said above it isn't planting the tires. I had the same issues at Hrp when I was launching soft. Hook a little then spin under full load.
