Made a few changes over the winter, 3.55 to 4.10, tighter front shocks(still not tight enough), air to water intercooler(60lb on the front end). 3825 race weight Been stuck in the 1.30s finally got it acting right with a gear change. This was 1.24 on the rear tires, and pedaled 3 times and still managed to go a 5.29. So close to 4s I can feel it. https://youtu.be/x7e-ruxqxJQ

Oh ya that's the way...60 footin with the back tires and no sissy bars......
Fix the left hand drift with some preload, tighten the front shocks up some and let it eat.
Is perfect when it smokes the fronts when it sets them down about 200 ft. out hehe.....

Moves out for sure. Once you get it under control and if everything is good in combo/performance it'll definitely be in the 4's. Nice piece.

You racing no prep ? Try some radials and get on a prep surface , instant 4’s . Otherwise if you going in the 4’s with 1.20 60 foots , you making some power out the back !

Get on a radial prep track and you will run well . Otherwise you compromise your potential.

Watching the vid , that’s a power wheelie . Get more weigh up front . Honestly it looks like it separating pretty fast . A tad tighter on the rear extension And more power early . But it will need better prep . What ECU ? A ride height sensor or Davis VPS will help a lot

Nope I’m not ashamed. 137-140 usually. You need to 60 in the teens to go 4.90’s with that mph Agreed....We have been 4.90's but with a 1.09 60' but again its just a lowly NA smallblock on a 29.5x20.5 slick with that MPH.

Al what’s that Corvette weigh? That rig definitely gets down the track with purpose.

Just under 2800lbs usually. Depending on track we may add some weight to it to help. We cannot make NMCA or the WCNA minimum.
