RE: Rygen is at the track!
man rygen im so proud of you!!! the smile on my face is from ear to ear!!! you gotta tell us about the comments youll be getting at future drag days!!! i was suppost to go to my local 1/4 mile track last week, but it rained so i never made it out.. i was wondering if you and or scrming could hook me up with some tips? ( like staging, and stuff, how to go about doing it)
im curious how my car will do, with my lowering kit, i figure ill have less body roll and ill lose less energy. so i should get a better launch over stock.. but like i said my curiousity is getting the best of me, and i wanna see how i can do!

RE: Rygen is at the track!
There are two good write ups here:

What kind of tires are you running? What suspension mods have you done (other than the lowering kit)?

RE: Rygen is at the track!
well other than the springs, nothing else..
my tires are the sotck traction T/A's and i like to call them slicks lol (they are bald bald blad!!! lol) no tread left at all! lol smooth smooth tires lol (i got a set of falken 245/50/16's on the way)
grrr i was hopeing a stiffer *** end would help me on the launch (cuz of the physics i learned a loss of energy takes place when the car moves into its initial squat position on a launch. if it cant squat, weight will gets transfered to the *** end via the theary of objects in motion tend to want to stay in motion (so if the car is stoped, all the weight is being pulled to the rear because it wants to stay where it was sitting) ) if you understand what im trying to say, guess my theory was wrong ..lol
