FYI, this was on street tires!! Slicks have not arrived yet.

Nice mph Matt, I have been getting the bug again lately. We just finished the other car I was talking about and Damn, at 14psi it is sick! Won't be long now for me.

Just a heads up, you should run low 11's with the new slick set-up, I ran 11.90's at 124-125mph in that car with sh1tty slicks and only 25psi. Put those new slicks on there and get that boost up closer to 30psi, and with a little practice, you will have some great times. Still checking on those parts for you.

Keep practicing, and ride first out on the rev limiter, with the no-lift shifting, it won't bog. Matter of fact with the slicks, you will not have any lag with the no-lift shifting. And god please only run C-16 at the track even with the lower boost. That Georgia heat will put your set-up under some strain when you crank the boost up.

Hey Chris. Was wondering when you'd pop your head in here Glad that "project" you mentioned is coming along nicely. Would love to see that bad boy! I understand what you mean too. It's hard to stay away once you've been bitten. Believe me I know. I've tried. .
I always religiously run C16 at the track. Always have. Hadn't planned on running the car originally due to not having the slicks yet. But got "talked into" it so I put the highest they offered at the track in it (114). Never put her above 23psi. I'm very excited about running her w/ slicks. I just need to find some 13x8 drag wheels. I've been looking at the Bogarts that Extreme sells but they are like $550 a set!! The slicks I got are 24.5x9-13 Hoosiers. Got them brand new for CHEAP. So we'll see how they hook. I know I still have some practicing to do and she'll still take some time to get used to. But it'll come. I'm glad you decided to post up. Hope all's going well w/ you. Just get w/ me via e-mail about all the other "stuff"!

Hey cool.... someone posted a picture of my car (the blue Talon). I wish I had a video of my race with the Supra drag car That high 90s heat and running c16 for the first time, tuned for 108, almost killed my car. I was just playing most of the day, not getting into the gas. I actually ran a 20.3 @ 77 mph on my bye run. :laugh:
We had a great time though. My best for the day under those conditions was 12.0 @ 115 mph. Definetly not my fastest race.....

What's up? I remember seeing you there and talking to you about your suspension setup... don't know if you remember me though, I didn't have my car cause it's broken

How was your sixty foots with the new suspension setup?

 

[LethalEagle]

Hey.. I think I remember you. My first attempt with the new suspension was a 1.62, that's a 1/10 better just in 60ft. I'm sure it will get better when I figure out the best way to launch with the new setup. Good luck with your car.......

That's pretty sweet

You're on your way to some nice 1.5's
