I wonder if my APS TT will be done by then? Brian, you said your stock exhaust can be bent to stock position instead of center exit right? I need it, lol...

Not sure if you mentioned it earlier...but what pressure were you running? I usually run about 14psi and after the 3rd, I can usually hook up decently down the track. It's a little squirly, but I can nail WOT in most of 3rd, all of 4th/5th....in the low 600whp range.

My launches are still poor...but I agree...proper setup, dialed in correctly, and DR's is all you'll need for easy 10's. Best of luck.

Oh, when you warm up your tires, are you blasting 1st and shifting into 2nd while brake boosting? You need a REALLY good smoke show to get those DR's hot, and I think you'll be surprised with how well they stick.

You may want to get some kind of boost controller, and then turn the boost up as you hook up better. A muli-stage boost controller would be ideal IMO.

You'll run low 10s eventually with that kind of power, then they'll make you get a roll cage before they let you back on the track. Good luck.

That's a REALLY ignorant statement. Suspension setup is VERY important for drag racing, even on slicks. I've seen plenty of cars pull the front wheels on drag radials...suspension is the key.

Bias ply slicks aren't some magical fairy dust...they use basically the same rubber compounds as the drag radials with 1930s sidewall technology. There's a reason LOTS and LOTS of competition drag racers are ditching their bias ply slicks for M/T ET Street radials.

You gotta understand, not all of his tire is hitting the ground BECAUSE of the alignment/camber, when I threw my 285's on, it was like I had a 265 on because of bad camber, under WOT it was probably worse, now that the camber is perfect all the tire is on the ground and traction is much better, even if he did get slicks, its not making much of a difference since his camber is jacked.

I'm going to agree that slicks won't matter if your camber looks like your axles have already snapped.

I'm fixing my camber before June 7th then everyone will get a show... Also I'd rather burn out on stock axles so I don't break them...

11.7 at 128mph...that is absolutely WICKED BigBri.

1) Does this make you the first 350 to break the 12s barrier?
2) Have you rolled/embarrassed any Ferrari's, Porsche's or Lamborghini's?
3) Can I drive it?
4) Do you think it can hang with this?

he's gone over pretty much his entire slip

60' 2.1
1/8 mph 98
1/4 et 11.7
1/4 trap 128

this is pretty much his slip. I guess i havent figured out what his 1/8 et is, but just from his conversation with us, this is what the 11.7 run should look like.
