Ha, well just got back and I ran a best of 16.798. My reaction was horrible though (.819).

just a 2 wheel drive. 141,000 miles on it. my 60 foot time was a 2.445. I need to work on reaction mostly. Revving it up a little seemed to help my 60 ft but im too stupid to concentrate on hit the gas. my goal is to get around .2 or lower on reaction.

high school drags coming up.

You have to remember reaction time does not have a effect on your Et.The time clock does not start till you break the beams,Later Mark.

what do you guys think about that time tough? I thought it was pretty decent given it was an old truck, with a little bit bigger tires.

truck in drive, O/D off and left on the brake right on the gas and go when it turns green then start working on your launch and how your truck likes to leave, do a quickpowerbrake to clean your tires off but don't heat up your street tires too much unles you really need to some street tires get more slippery when they get heated

ever since i tuned, if i give it too much gas from a stop, (no brakes) the tires will just spin...

would power braking it to 2000 help me not spin, or be worse?

my 0-60 and 1/4 miles suck since the tires just spin till i let off the gas to move..
