Hey alex! You get that rear end yet? I pulled a 1.886 60' on those 245 kumho ecstas, damn cheap tires hook! Should be picking up a set of drag radials on thursday or maybe sooner. Let me know when your going to be out there again.

i was dumping the clutch at 5,500 to 5,800 and the e.t. was still not what it should have been, it would still bog a bit after launch. best was 7.54 i believe

move your rev to 6600 and launch of rev limiter. It will help improve your 60'
