Finally got the car out yesterday. Kilcare had a TNT yesterday. I could have made about 20 passes if I wanted there were about 10 race cars and 25-30 street cars there. They sprayed before they opened and that was it for the day on track prep. I have a new QF QFX-4710- E85 Dominator on the car for the first time as well. I ran it right out of the box I think it was close. Specs on carb 94 square jetting 47 squirters idle bleeds -39 intermediate-63 High Speed-28 .150 needle and seat one thing Im not quite sure is if I really have E85 or not. I just bought this past week it could be winter grade kid at station did not Know? i jetted carb up to 96 square and it slowed up 1.5MPH. But the biggest thing i was after was the new 4 link. I really was hoping for some good 60-fts my car has never 60ft well. best was 9.63 with a 1.41 60ft So anyway the 60's showed some real promise The worst 60 spinnin was 1.36 most were 1.34 range and on the pass where the front end was up the highest it went a 1.300 60ft. So for the first time out with a marginal track i really happy and im sure when i get it dialed in more it will go High 1.2?'s forgive the primer on the 1/4's I really need the clearance. No more tire rubbing thanks Bob http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XjoiNxOVdQ

On every launch except the last one your tires slipped, dropping the front end hard back to the ground. You can hear it. On the last one it didn't slip, dead hooked and carried the tires. My car does the same, but without the tires as high in the air. I haven't figured out how to get rid of it yet. What suspension?
Edit: I just read your post... I run cal-tracs, so nothing I know will carry over. You're about 1 second faster than I am.

Glad to, see that you got out Rick, to bad Pacemaker's was closed for the season or I would of been there to help and watch, car look's good but you can tell it would hook and then release, you can see it and hear it, keep working at it and then we can have wheelie contest's.
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

Looks like you guys are going in the right direction. I would think that the converter needs to be a little looser. I don't know where your at but I would think with the new 4-link the car would handle a 6200-6500 stall well.

Thanks Guys I know I need to stiffen the rebound on the fronts some more. Its bouncing a little bit. I could not leave on the T brake at anymore than 3200RPM I tried 3500 twice and it would spin. Bill come spring i will be at Pacemakers looking for some help Im just glad to get it out once other wise it would have been a long winter waiting and wondering.
