Clearly you are not a teenager, lol.
Me personally, i'd take the car out to an abandoned or rarely driven road and practice.
If you are going to take this track thing serious and go often, buy a line lock.
Pain in the butt to put in (unless someone makes a prebent line kit now), but for someone that frequents the track, it's worth it.
Here's the update. I went to the track last night. I installed the Strange Single Adjustable shocks in the rear along with rear lower control arms with the Spherical internal bushing with Poly externals. And some MT ET Street R slicks.
First run i ran i had the shocks set at 5 clicks from soft with 20 PSI cold on the tires.
2.222 60'
5.717 330'
8.527 1/8
88.51 mph

110.02 trap
I launched at 3000rpm and spun the tires pretty bad. I only did a short burnout. Wasn't the best run, but was sti my best time yet.
2nd run I ran 15 psi and stiffened up the shocks two more clicks. And tried to launch at 2000rpm and the damn thing stuck hard and the car fell on its face lol. We wont talk about those times lol.
3rd run I stuck with the same settings and did a longer burnout and launched at 4000rpm and the thing stuck hard and I ran i best pass.
1.801 60'
5.329 330

Unfortunately I didnt get to run again. A bunch of the big boys kept messing up the track. But i can definitely launch with more RPM and can probably get the ET somewhat lower.
Thanks for all the good tips guys! I cant wait to get back to the track

That’s a great improvement. With even less air in the tires, and the strange 10 ways for struts it would probably cut down even more.
I ordered the Strange front struts with everything else but they didnt fit. I guess my car originally was a 4 cylinder and the spindles are different. I need to send them back and order the correct ones.
I'll look into the V8 spindles. Yes the width of the bracket on the strut is about an 1/8 of an inch to narrow to go into the spindle. It was pretty annoying lol we got everything apart and went to install and bam to small lol.
Karthief these are just Struts I'm not going with the Coilovers.
Thanks guys
