Finally got a tracking number. Rims, tires, and axles will all be here Wednesday. And just my luck, it's calling for rain on Thursday, our test and tune day.. I'll post up pics of the install.

Pulled out my axles last night to be ready for the new ones today. Turns out that I broke both axles on that last run.

Thanks I love the look of these. Driving is kinda scary. It likes to float a lot. If it doesn't rain I'll be at the track tomorrow.

Try putting more air (45-50psi) in the Front tires, see if that helps.

Also, for the street and driving to the track MT's should have about 28-30psi, then at track air them down 18psi to start at.

Yeah iwas running 24 in the on the street. i bumped them up to 30 till I get to the track. Won't be much street driving on the anyways. Z got a lot of looks, people waiving and yelling at me in traffic lol. Had this mom and her two really young daughters wave and give a thumbs up, lol def looks like a race car coming down the street.

Ya, you'll eat those tires up pretty quick if you drive them on the street much.

New times, launching around 4k. I'll have video tomorrow. Best so far.

1.76. 60ft
4.89. 330ft
7.40. 1/8
98.75

Car is a handful on the top end for sure with these mickeys. I'm still getting used to the setup but I feel I'm not doing to bad. I had some spin still in first. I'm down to 12 psi. I'll have to lower just a little more and possible heat tires up. I was doing 2nd gear burnouts.

That was nice! I agree, get comfortable with the set up and I think you will pick up some more time.

Thanks, me and that mustang were nearly identical on take off. Both had .3 reaction times and 1.76 60ft. Couldnt be a better match off the tree.
