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'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.

Solve it fast. Buy some MT slicks, slap 'em on, and run 10s. Easy.
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.

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.
