His current 112 MPH isn't close enough to get into the 5.99 ET Its a indicator of potential, he would want around 115/116 mph for a sub 6 sec. But Hes going to be close. Not necessarily. Every combo is a little different. I agree, see you had a 6.001 at 113.27 MPH, do you remember what your 60Ft. was for that. I'm guessing sub 1.30,s

I think with just three passes it will be impossible to say good or bad.

Thankxxx guys and maybe I can make the Famoso T&T on the 17th of this month and figure some stuff out so time will tell.............I had a bad feeling yesterday before we left and didn't even want to go but went anyhow and I want to thank Shiloh for his help and maybe he'll chime in w/what he saw my goofy azz do............... Greg, I appreciate the offer and if you were here maybe we could do something but if you need carb help just call me and I'll see if I can help ya out...........As far as the shock working, apparently they did their job and they felt nice n smooth not violent like before w/the Ranchos................peace!

Dom I think you just need some seat time and laps. Hard to get anything dialed in with only a couple hits. Fontana has TNT's occasionally might be worth the trip. Just need some time to make some laps and try some stuff. You will find it harder and harder to find improvements the fast you go.

Dom, i was thinking of someone local to you. Someone known for good suspension tuning skills, well above my meager knowledge! I'm a loooong ways away this year !

Thump ...I remember you pulling weight out of the car,what was the final #'s for this? Plus I see your using a different shocks. Ya, I removed the 2nd battery but put it back for these tests but as SPORT440 suggested, maybe the new shocks didn't need the ballast after all.........lots to do to get ready for what may be my last pass till my car is 100% legal..........
