That would be great to see 5.30s in the 1/8rh. Best so far is 5.47. The 60 fts are a bit slow I suspect as I run a throttle controller, not a stop
For launch rpm. I leave at about 1/8th throttle at 4,000 rpm, and it takes about .2 seconds for full throttle. I figured with only a 10.5x33 tire I would hit it soft to start. Still, the 1.224 is the fastest it has ever gone in the 60 ft.
The 30 inch ladderbar are at 120 percent of rise by my calculations. Rear shocks are Afco big guns, set at 12 from full stiff on separation, 6 from full stiff on compression. The feeling I had before was tire spin when I tried to run the ladderbar in the bottom hole . The car would pitch rotate too fast and hit the wheeliebar unloading the rear tires. I don't feel that now.



I have went 5.47 @ only 125 mph with a 1.18 60 ft. So with a better DA, and suspension tweaks to better the 60 ft I bet it clips the high 30s at least.

The big issue you have is the low starting line ratio with the 3 speed and ladder bars killing the tire if you try to leave harder.
