Just got back from the track.

I couldt get it to hook up for anything. I tried air pressure from 31-23 and the best time came on 27. The truck was shifting at the end right before the finish so i dont know if thathurt anything. My truck has a flip chip and 4lb pulley.Is my 60' time killing my time?

temp 50
60' - 2.284
330- 5.884
1/8 - 8.736
mph- 86.56

Your MPH is pretty good. Its all in the 60 foot man. You are probably shifting 3rd right before the 1/8th and thats ok...

On F1's I dropped my pressure to 25 and got 1.9x 60's.
But I also have the Metco uppers. They do help alot.

Rocks

You might try getting to the track early.
Be waiting when they open the gates.
Even my pitiful truck has trouble 'hooking' after the track gets all crapped up.

If the track is never 'good', go elsewhere.
