Its running 10.80's right now but should be running low 70's once we get it all straightened out. Car went 1.46 60' last week. But its going right. The chassis is getting scaled tomorrow but i know the old QA1's that are on it are worn out. They are non adjustable pro street coilovers.

I have QA-1 adjustables on the race car and like them but I have Strange adjustable coil overs on the Rampage, havent run it yet so I'll know more later in the summer

It will, hopefully, go a little faster soon, more tuning Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

I paid 20 bucks to have my Afco's dyno'd and they were damm close to each other in all the rate settings. 7242484-slicks_4-26-12_web.jpg (44 downloads)
