Last night was the 1st time down the track for me so I was kinda lost but still had fun.
My 64 Dodge Polara has been updated and now has 590-600hp at 5400 rpm and 650 ft torque at 2900 rpm. It weighs 3840 lbs without me, I’m a 238 lbs so total is a light 4078 lbs
I’m running 3.91 gears with Hoosier 28x10 DOT drag radials. I couldn’t launch very hard because I kept spinning the tires.
I dropped the tire psi 18 lbs but I was still spinning.
It pulled very hard half track. Next time I’ll play with the front shock settings. Can I drop tire psi below 18?
Besides my driving skills, what other tuning can I do to make it run better?
Please keep in mind I street drive the car weekly.
After learning how the track works, I ran 12.5 to 12.6 at 108 mph all night.
Here is one of my slip numbers
R/T .319
60’ 1.79
¼ 12.591
Mph 108.7
