best 60' yet

ok, we're still kinda slow, but heres the newest times:

60'....2.018
330...5.785
1/8...8.757
mph.81.87

not sure why our mph was down from last time, poss. leaning out some (it was about 25 degrees cooler than last time)but our e.t. stayed the same. not too bad for no stall & lousy tuning, i guess.

your sig says you've got a 3500 stall

Get those 60's down!!!! Those are crap. Do al il suspension work and get down to some 1.7 60's and your times will drop!

yeah, sig is wrong, those times r w/ NO stall, launching off idle (800-900 rpm) new stall is in the future!

time for lca relocation brackets and some M/T ET Street Radials. those will drop your 60' dramatically. i went from 2.0's on street tires to 1.7's, and i have a 305. your mph is there for some very low 8 second (1/8 mile) passes if you can get the car to hook right. my 305 runs 8.2's consistently at 81mph

that run was on m&h racemasters, 26x10.50's. i think i'm leaving a lot on the line due to excessive squat..lca relocators would really help, & maybe some adjustable shocks...previous mph was 83.25, same et, but 2.05 60'....
