And like that BAM I could lose my Title
YOU AINT GETTING ANY HELP FROM ME

WOW really nice ET Cowman CONGRATS BIG TIME
As you know you have the MPH for the 9's you seek and surly the power,
and as said YOU AINT GETTING ANY HELP FROM ME, hehehehehe......

On the 9.74 the 60ft w/ Evan Smith driving was 1.39, with me driving it to a 9.9 my 60ft was 1.4
I use 15" Bogarts w/ 30" Hoosier at 16.0 lbs, I actually launch almost off idle,
I stall it very little maybe 1800 - 2200 RPM. Over the years I have always found just stomping it straight to the floor has ALWAYS netted me my best 60fts, (of course the track needs to be prepped well)

Now put that got dam truck away for a year
OR SOMETHING (@&$%(@$@($%@($@$

CONGRATS BRO, YOU ARE AS CLOSE AS CLOSE CAN BE..... (Huge Thumbs Up)

Another Killer Run, niiiiiiiiiiiiiice

We always say 2/10ths better ET for every 1/10 you knock off the 60ft, in your case it's actually right on with the math too. 1.68 minus 1.53 equals 0.15

Since .010 would equal 2/10ths, the .005 would be another 1/10 hence a total of 3/10th's

10.36 minus 10.09 equals 0.27 (aka 3/10ths

Soooooooooooooo all you need is a friggin C-Hair more off that 60ft AND YOUR IN BABY

Your hooking well and I see the front come right up so it seems your suspension is working well. BTW what do you have for Springs and Shocks ???
I have stock suspension with JDM Drag Springs up front and QA-1's all around, I run the QA-1's at 5 clicks front and back on the street, no change to the rear at the track, (I also run 5 clicks on the rears at the track) but only 2 clicks on the fronts at the track

At Atco a few weeks ago mine was truly on rails

Atco Raceway Wednesday April 25th

1.454 - 60FT
4.158 - 330
6.403 - 1/8 Mile @ 109.28 MPH
8.343 - 1000FT
9.992 1/4 Mile 136.75 MPH

1.454 - 60FT
4.175 - 330
6.430 - 1/8 Mile @ 108.89 MPH
8.376 - 1000FT
10.028 1/4 Mile 136.46 MPH

1.413 - 60FT
4.160 - 330
6.439 - 1/8 Mile @ 107.81 MPH
8.404 - 1000FT
10.071 1/4 Mile 135.25 MPH

1.437 - 60FT
4.186 - 330
6.469 - 1/8 Mile @ 107.44 MPH
8.441 - 1000FT
10.113 1/4 Mile 135.05 MPH


Every 60ft was 1.4
Every 330 was 4.1
Every 1/8 was 6.4
Every 1000ft was 8.3 "or" 8.4

The diff in Et was 101% temp related, as the day got hotter and sunnier the truck lost a 10th... I could get bold and let it stay at 100HP for 5 sec's instead of 4 seconds but I honestly have nothing to prove and I already got all I wanted (until you beat me you SOB @&$^%(@&$%)@$)
(I'm joking with you Cowman)
Ya right I can see it now I'm going to have to go to 6 sec's of 100%
GEE THANKS, hehehehehe......

I was also running it with the heavy Cowl Hood, NOT the lighter stock hood
I borrowed V's 28" skinnys, NOT 29" like Mike use to run
I left the tail Gate on
and I didnt try other settings on the shocks, (maybe I can better the 60's yet ?)

Now put that dam truck away to next year and try again then

Who's tunning it ???
What Size Slicks ???
Suspension ???
