Nice.............how`d you get the 60 down so much?
Thanks! Put a newer set of tires on it and played with the shocks some. It seems like we are finally getting a handle on it.

That's what I'm doing new tires/shock adjustment. Trying to run more air in these new M/T slicks.

Lots of testing I know. Where r your tire pressures now? I`m curious about what my 29x10.5`s will want...........
With these new M/T they recommend 12 lbs min. at 3100 lbs. So i'v started there and went up i'v also been playing around with shock setting. I was right at 13 lbs when it 60'1.26.

It went 9.03 and 9.04 at 147.27 MPH. I was hoping for a high 8 at or above 150 MPH 
It had a 7200 RPM chip in the number two slot, which is for high gear, and I saw 8000 RPM during the burn out 
I went back to the pits and pulled that chip and saw that it was loose so I giggle it, clean the contacts and put it back in. The next run was the next morning(two day race) and it slow the car down to 9.734 at 137.71 MPH 
) and get the correct chip in each slot so it will run out the back door without missing or limiting the car at the other end 
There is always next time
