Was your only change going from 26's to 28's? If so, you have convinced me to go with 28's! Lol! Thats alot of mph you picked up!

He also did a tubular k, a-arms, and coil-overs up front.

what does taking out the front sway bar do? i can't get better than a 13.7, 1.9 60ft, 8.8 1/8th at 79, and can't get higher than 99 mph in the 1/4. i first started going last spring and trapped 101 a couple times, and now i cant ever get over 99. could a stretching, binding clutch cable be holding me back while going through the gears? when i hit 3rd and 4th i hear a strange noise when i drop the gear and it hovers around 100 mph for a second (going into 4th)

Taking off the front sway bar increases your weight transfer.

evan, what kind of mods do you have? 13.7 with a 1.9 is about identical to what i have been running now that it has cooled off a bit, but right at 100.3-100.5 mph.

i got a bassani catted x pipe, flowmaster weld-in mufflers, k&n drop in with the silencer removed, 75mm throttle body, and a c&l plenum. all season tires, 245 tires. i can';t get over 100 mph to save my life. it's like the car is quicker in the 1/4, but i'm trapping 2 mph slower than what i did in the spring. for some reason i think it's my clutch cable stretching. (i have an aftermarker cable, adjuster and quadrant from AM)

When you get a better 60' sometimes it will take a bit off of your trap speed. It also means you're probably getting better as a driver, the lower your trap speed on a given ET the more efficiently you're getting the car down the track.

Um, can I add my slip here, since most of the 4.6's here aren't doing the job?

Not too shabby for a sixxer man!

Yea, does anybody else feel like participation in the timeslip thread has really gone down over the past 2 years?
