Default Horrible ETs = lotta fun at the track :D

Went to the track last Saturday, 1/4mile this time. I had a pretty awful day et-wise, running only a best of 13.35 and trapping a best of 104. ONCE AGAIN, I was missing gears most of the day. Im hoping Santa thinks about some shifter mods for me this year I did do a 3-2 powershift, that was pretty notawesome. But, I did get some good launches in, got a couple vids of both fronts "coming up", and only on 1.8x 60fts.

This video has a few of the quicker street cars there that day. Im still at a 15min video limit, so I couldnt fit them all in there. Quite a few badass diesel trucks there that day. Good variety of very nice cars. Made for a great day, despite my lack of driver-mod that day.

Your car really pops the front tire off the ground nicely. Aftermarket shocks?

That should make a huge difference. Keep us informed - would love to see the results.

^^^^


Can't wait to see what this next round of mods does for you, 97. Those LCAs will hold the weight transfer and sifts much better than that stamped crap/rubber bushings.

A nice set of subframe connectors would tie in those LCAs to the rest of the car nicely

Car sounds good man!
