Cool finally

I know this is not posted in the good forum but im only posting on this one, just wanted to lets you know I finally ended my curse running mid 13s on the 1/4, here the slip of my best time so far, on street tire, huge 20'' cold temp 12 degree,i had a hardtime gripping on the launch, with drag radial or better 60' i think i could score in the 12.50 my top speed improved 110mph instead of 104.

im happy!

gotta get that 60 under 2 seconds. I got the same issue. Lately, I cant even go full throttle without my tires bailing on me and the rear going into a fishtail. I know I need new tires but, I thin too with the addistion of the new exhaust, I added just enough HP to make the car unstable at its current setup

My new exaust n vmp pulley reaally made the car nervous, i think 12 degree is too cold, my best on street tire was 1.81 on 18 degree, but made a **** time somehow

Btw xkape, do you have a similar time slip? Or im i still off in top speed n time?

I've run 13.05 and I'm not blown...? Suspension upgrades sound like they should be in your future...and tires.

not tech, moved to the correct section (I don't know if this is the "good" forum or not, but it is at least the racing one!)
