Got rid of radials,put some Hoosier 10/28.
Couldn't figure out why my car wasn't 60'.
Today a friend of mine call me after seeing a pic of my car online,to tell me my front struts had all the preload out of them. Hes correct, I remember now lowering the car when motor was out so it wouldn't sit so high. Going to try putting a lot back in for next outing. Had me some fun at SGMP this weekend.

what MPH are you running? it looks quick but there is NO noticeable weight transfer. that's a weird launch in my opinion. either you got very stiff springs (i.e. no weight transfer) or you're not hooking, hard to tell from that video

I have to put back the preload,I missed up.
138mph in the 1/4, will be better soon.

That converter sounds pretty loose, it sounds like it up is against the converter off the line for quite a while before the converter locks up and starts pulling the car

A radial is a faster tire so car should slow down. Only if you are having trouble getting car to hook would a slick be faster. A slick is more forgiving and works with less then perfect rear suspension.
