You really think that's gonna net you 4 tenths? Get real

Based on my current 60ft of high 1.8's and 12.3's all night with the exception of that last run, yeah I do, I just need to get into the 1.6's or low 1.7's to get into the 11's. But assuming from your comment your a roll racer with no track experience.

I knew the MSD 2 step would cook my cats, Oh well. They maybe okay still, I don't really know how to check.

I think for you to get 11's you may need:

different shocks
UCA
Aluminum DS
M&H DRs

I think your main issue is tires and suspension. Something to get the rear weight transfer better will make that 60' come down. A 1.65 on a well prepped track should put you in the 11s.

Also, the nights your going to the track they aren't actively prepping the track throughout the night. If someone spills something on the track then they will spot treat it. But otherwise, they sweep it and spray it one time. There's probably 800 plus passes per wednesday night there.

I think we should go down and spend the extra $35 to do test and tune on a Saturday between the bracket racers.

Thanks for the support! Those vids are also about a year old, and before I had my clutch replaced, I shaved .2 off my time just by changing to a clutch I could shift with.

Once the mickey's are shot I was thinking about trying the M&H's, and I think your right the shocks would help, but HP wise I think I am good. Lets plan a trip for test and tune its now $50 (I think), but that way we can take our time and not worry about the lights until we get our new setups figured out. I still have not figure out how to slip the RST on the line, that thing dead hooks when you side step the clutch.

alum DS on the S197s are generally worth .15-.2 and getting the pinion correct could be .05-.15 IMO, so yeah its possible IMO to get 11s for Sactown.

Haha, Yeah it is advised to use a catless downpipe/midpipe with a 2 step.

You should have seen the smoke show. I thought the motor was going to blow up.

I'm looking into putting in an off road pipe.

I think .3-.4 on a well prepped track is reasonable. Couple that with a tire change and some suspension work and I think your there.

$50 sounds good. If Adam would send me my fuel pump drain I would dump in some 100 octane.
