Welcome to the forum, you could also start a new thread in the Street/Strip section. That's all we talk about in there. But it's just not as busy in there right now in the winter months, so expect delayed answers. But we'll get you down to 1.7-1.6 's..............maybe lol.

With this setup I haven't been to the track yet. In the process of doing some weight reduction as we speak. Hoping for a low 11 high 10 sec slip.

ok so I guess I can't get into the street/strip section for a moth because I'm a newbie, so any one out there can give me launch advice or tech advice to get this car a good 60 ft time will be really appreciated, thank you soldier for your input. when the track opens in napierville Canada, they have test and tune 4 week nights from 6 pm until 10 pm for $8.00, guess i'll be practicing a lot

my dyno slip showed 146 mph in fourth gear with a 5 speed, in reality, what could I expect my top speed on the road to be? any idea?

Top speed would be hard to say, but faster than I'd ever want to go.......

As for your 60ft, how long are you heating the tires in the water box? Are they good and hot by the time you leave ? I'm assuming your spinning those slicks to your "not so good" 60ft right now. What are you running for air pressure ?

I haven't been to the track with the slicks yes, only the mickey Thompson drag radials, but I heated them up pretty good, launched about 3000, and smoked them in first and second
