Pretty happy with the results giving the weather. Also still on street tires 255/40/19. I did manage to cut a 1.999 60ft but i slow shifted all the gears. went 12.5 on that one also. Wish i would of speed shifted it maybe could of got a 12.4 or lower.

track temp 79 deg
humidity 60%
baro. pres. 30.11
D.A. little over 2000

Mods:
Tune
Gt500 mufflers
Lethal H-pipe

Had to coast the car thru 4th as I cant hit 5th fast enough to help me. that why the 1/4mph is low.

Fastest pass
60ft 2.156
330 5.480
1/8 8.217 @ 91.04mph
1000 10.533
1/4 12.531 @ 113.37mph

Should do better than 13.4s. When I ran mine in the heat I went a best of 12.68 no 13 second runs. Just went a 12.370 @ 114.28 in good air and slight headwind.

Very impressive on the 19s! Are you planning to do upgrade the tires & suspension to a street/strip setup?

thank you. Yes i have pretty big plan for the whole car. Im going to get some race star wheels and either a 28x10 slick or the new Pro ET drag radials (x275 tire) hope to go mid 11s with it like that. Then do strange shocks upper and lower control arms and a k member.

How's your second and third gear traction? I've managed a 12.55 but spin like a motherfucker in second and third. I have the stock 235s though. Curious if the touch of extra width makes a big difference or not?

Nice times for the DA! Keep working on the launch though. On the stock 19s I cut consistent 1.90 60' times at several tracks and even have broken into the 1.8s, all on 33 psi. Do you do a burnout? And how are you launching?

MPH seems fine to me. Especially for just a tune and H pipe.

The 1/8th mph is good. but with just a tune on the stock 18s which are bigger i trapped 115mph. the costing thru 4th kills the mph

Great job sir!

Of coarse the bmr springs help me out :)

Really depends on track conditions. if its prepped good then it doesnt spin only chirps. but ive had it get sideways slamming third.

The prep on the beginning of the track is subpar on TnT nights which sucks. they only prep it once at the begining of the night (6:00pm) i dont get there till 7:30-8:00 and its not the best.

Excellent.

I can't remember which shop you deal with, so I don't know if they have an account with UPR, but we have the Strange dampeners in stock and the 275 radial pros.

The SLP linelock has been working great for me and many other people.
I chipped quite a few teeth on my old diff doing brake stands and ruined my rear pads.
