You definately are reflecting a traction issue with those mods and that time. What was your 60 foot and your trap speed??

That first 60 foot is great for stock suspension and street tires. Did you spin 2nd bad? You will need to look at some suspension upgrades and some good tires. There are a lot of options and opinions on the d/r's. Kinda depends on the rims you intend to use. Not bad for a first outing!!

Look at some good LCA's and an upper link as well as some D/R's for starters. I would expect to see a very low 8 if not breaking the 7's with the 100 shot. That, patience and practice backpeddling when you start to spin.

72.3 is your trap speed? 1.7 on street tires? i didn't think that was possible. That trap speed can't be right.

You need some lower control arm relocation brackets since you're lowered.

It doesn't seem right to me either. With a 1.81 60',I pulled an 1/8th at 88.26 @ 8.01. I have simliar mods with a 75 shot, 4.10'sand a built suspension (not completly but almost). I've seen the time machine make errors on slips before, so keep that in mind.

A 1.71 60' on street tires is unheard of. Not saying your making it up, just keep in mind the above info.

You should be able to get what I had in my sig. Make sure your car cools down between runs (half hour or so with your hood propped open out of the sun)and your bottle is warm (a must!). Get LCA's, tokico d-specs (soft in back firm in front), BMR relocates and some drag radials and you should atleast get down in the low-mid 12's.

I have the BFG's and love them. After 6 runs it seems they are still getting through the big tread down to the good stuff so my 60' should get down to the low 1.70's or even a 1.65. I wish. . .
