I'd like to see if it would pick with better shocks, it would have to be a significant gain to justify them costs IMHO.

New user registrations were disabled last week. We are hoping to that we can get this going this week. Thank you Mr. Sloan for posting your impressive results and for the kind words. Since I see it went a 1.37 can I assume the changes suggested helped it more? AFCO, Rons Fuel Injection sponsored Dodge Challenger Mention Street Lethal Motorsports

This is all on a 28X9 Hoosier biasply slick. They are a few years old, so maybe there is some more there too. This is also a pump gas deal. 10.53 @ 125mph. 1.37 60 foot.

The next day, when the track was regroomed, we softened up the compression a little and it was good. But when the track was going away, your recommendations were gold!! 10.53 @ 125mph. 1.37 60 foot.

I was sitting there texting back and forth with you while eating lunch and my wife's grandmother asked what I was doing. I said helping tune a car in California.

Although we're running well with our Duster (10.14 @ 128) our 60' numbers are consistant, but lazy. A best of 1.40 and last Sunday 1.42 on 2 runs and a 1.44 in too deep. I would LOVE to find that gain at the 60' clocks and maybe them I could get my .0 timeslip! The car has Rancho 5-ways circa late 90's... Irun6s...you have a PM.
