My best for the day was 11.39 @127.55 my best 60" 1.78. Almost a new best, I just couldn't make them drag radials grab today. I did have a new best trap of 129.01 however. Also the damn clutch fork came off three times today. So I didn't collect 3 of my slips and of course it would kill the run.. The one run felt great then I got locked out and couldn't shift. I would pull in pits jack it up and fix it. Then run a run or 2 then off again lol.

I just installed the upr k-member kit and think it might have hurt my weight transfer. The temps where in the high 50's

Here's a vid what do you think?

Thanks!

I think because there's to much slack in it, because of adjustable clutch cable.
But if i take it out, it releases to high. Plus the clutch fork and pivot ball have about145k on it .

Full mods are linked in sig.

But these are the basics

V1 S-trim 12psi
MMR Mod 900 Shortblock
Diy ebay intercooler set up
Pro. Products 75mm TB/Plenum
Full Mac exhaust lt's/or hpipe/ catback
Hp 292s Cams
Stock heads and valve springs
Stock intake

130 MPH!!!!!!! You should be close to 10's with a great launch...

Do you have any suspension work done? or is it all stock stuff?

I just put installed a UPR tubular k-member kit but the rest is stock.

My fastest time a 11.37 is with a completely stock suspension with 145k on it.


I seen people do 10's with as little as a 123 trap. But the had better drag set ups

i want some sidewall. I don't think i'm going to by some 35 profile radials then swap em onto my rims each time i got to the track. I'd rather buy some used 15x9 or 10's and put some slicks on it. Then i can drive to the track and swap on the slicks there.

Stock, the only thing I have is a crappy adjustable clutch cable.
