Title: Anyone in, or near KC. Going to KCIR on Sept 25th.

Hopefully someone can go. I am ready to see this thing run on a track. Don't have my tires yet, but they can wait. Pulling on a truck running mid 13's.

So I'm an idiot. Not even close to a 13 couldn't get traction for crap. Spun the tires through the 1/8th it seem like. Hell I almost need a wheelie bar. Need to go back to the drawing board. I think what I have will work, I just need to tune bad, and figure out the traction issue. best time 15.04 at 93.01 MPH. My worst reaction time of the night at .716. A 9.60 1/8 mile and a 2.2 60'. Is there anyone out there that has a rear suspension fix. :icon_cry:

I'm not going to lie. I don't know how to post a video, or even if you can. But if you want to see I posted one on my facebook page.  Look up Jeremy Hansen in KC.

*use at your own risk* If you try them, install them @ the track as they're wayyyyy too rough riding for street use.

What was your 60ft time on the 15.0 run by the way?

New tires will be the Nitto 555R Drag radial 245/50 16. The only 16 they make. Good tire, but not as stiky as an MT E/T street. Hopefully less breakage that way.

dude I haven't broke 2secs for my 60 ft time and I have M/T Streets but you sound like you have quite a bit more done than I do.

We'll just have to get some work done this winter. I still think I can hit mid to low 13's. I would be happy with that. Then mabye a little bottle juice will put me in the 12's.

Your running the same times as I am in mine, and I probly have a lot less done than you.. (not bragging, just saying). Low 15's sound like the magic number for these cars..

Strut blocks in the back really help, I personally wont use them in fear I would rip the upper strut tower out. I hope my 88 rear spring will help in my weight transfer. I am using Yokohama AS430 tires, I have only once ever had a spin issue.
