Yea read good things about those tires. They are supposed to be better than MT's from the testing I read about

 

Very nice..Especially for low profile DRs...I'd recommend adding adjustable rear shocks like QA1 12 ways and set them on the stiff side to drill the tires into the track and keep the squat to a minimum...I usually start at setting #5 with mine and increase stiffness one "click" each run til I get a bit of shake, then back off a click...You can usually pick them up pretty cheap used in good shape on this board and others, or just go new...Rear shocks will really make a huge difference....They ride decent on the street, too..That "squat" while looking good, doesn't help your launch at all...Good luck in your quest for 11s!!

thanks allan I will for sure maybe order some new ones I have the KYB adjustables right now , but 8 way I think , I have them in full stiffness and still did that , I guess is time for some new ones right lol

Well went to track yesterday and was messing with tirepressure , damn tires were not heating up in a burn out grrr.... so by not heating up they were not hooking , better luck next week lol

 

How were they not heating up?

 

I failed at burn outs lol ... so basically they were not hooking .... Im a newb at drag racing lol

 

Yeah the KYBs are a decent street shock, but don't adjust stiff enough, imho...There's lots of folks who sell their QA1s, AFCOs, Strange, on here all the time. I got mine for $100/pair and they were QA1 12 ways gently used...They can also be rebuilt. You may expose any weak links in your drive line with good rear shock as they will drill the tires into the track...Either way have fun. Your times will improve also with more seat time at the track!

Yea I for sure need more , I talk to a lot of people that went and they also said had issues hooking yesterday, it was super humid and that morning had just rained , hopefully next week will be better

 

nice pic man. damn that was fast now you got a few mods done to it

how are you launching? on od or d? also to do burn outs you might consider getting a line lock

 

Lol this car has never been stock lol , the motor is a ls6 take off from a 04 z06 , has a small cam and well the rest is on sig lol

Yeah launching in od @ 2800 or so ... maybe need to bum it down? Learning this stuff

That's just a clean sexy car all around. New background for me as well lol. When my set of 555 non DR's are shot (at which time hopefully i'll have room for my 2 vehicles then so the SS won't be my DD either), i'll be picking up a set of those. Nice to see they hook!

 

oh damn i though it was unmolested when u had gotten this car lol. thats very nice though.

im a drag racing newbie myself so i was just trying to see where you were launching at and stuff haha. i might be wrong but on autos i believe your suppost to race them on d and not od. dont quote me on that though i could be wrong

 

nice pic... what size of cam do you have? also what was the DA? with a nice cam you should be mid to low 11's I would think... at least mid 11's...

 

I guess u mean duration? But I have no idea how big is it , its a little bit bigger then a stealth ill try to get the size tomorrow .. and yeah I'm learning hopefully weather good this Friday coming up

 

Its a 220/224 on a 116lsa

Baby cam
