Usually a good 60 was 1.52 or so. Normal ET of 6.96 or so dropped to 6.84 in the 1/8th. And at an Airport drag strip to boot.... Man it's been a long road but I think I finally got something right!! Now to play with the settings on the rear a bit.... I'm curious now!!!

People used to ask me why I run 14 #'s of air in my tires...always say that's too high....I know that's what the car likes and I see so many other guys on here run up there too. Next project is to take off the 6 pak and try the Victor and a 950 HP ultra....I'm thinking she'll go faster yet....

I run the 30 x 9 Hoosier radial slicks at around 16 psi. My best 1/8 is 6.83 so you have easy 10.70's. Ron Last edited by 383man; 07/22/13 01:31 PM.

Nope...18200 with the D05 compound.....guys use them in Stock Eliminator. You could tell they were sticky before I even mounted them. All I can say is even when the track went away on us on Saturday evening, the 60' was still a 1.50. I f I had had the old tires on there, I'd guarantee you the 60 woulda been a 1.60 or worse. I'm certainly pleased....I'm gonna try a bit more pressure and try some preload on the bars. At least I have a base point now.
