Times just keep getting better and better!
One more week (4 weeks old) into the rig has netted me even better times.
This time, in more true street form, i now have my A.R.E. cap on which weights a good 100 pounds or so, I still have the sway bar pulled, but it always will be. I also kept the tailgate on. The only thing I removed was the spare.
With the cap, i would say i'm about even between the spare and sway bar as far as weight.
I did add the traction bars, but on street tires i don't think they do much, as matter of fact, my best run was with a worse 60' than last week. I think i need to tighten the space on them up a little.
Anyway heres the slip. I actually put my 2 12.76 runs on one slip so you could see them.
funny thing is, my faster run has a worse 60' and worse mph, however, the 330 and 1/8 mile times are exactly the same.
the better weather must have definately helped, considering i was also about 150 pounds heavier than last week, and i picked up 2mph and 1.5 tenths. If you figure the 150 cost me 1.5 tenths, i really made 3 tenths today. Someone mentioned the fact that a cap and tailgate up would cause for less drag than no top and tailgate, i didn't believe it, but now i do!
Man, I can't wait for my slicks!
btw only 3000 miles on this puppy still
