Went to the strip Saturday night and got three runs in. Fisrt was a 12.60 with a really bad bog off the line. Next was a 12.40 with a little better launch. The third was a 12,27 with a slight bob off the line. The last run was about a 3200 launch on the ET Streets. It still hesitated a little so next time I will try for a 4500 launch. All these runs were with granny shifting because I am a chicken :D . I think if I could get a good launch and fast shifts I could break into the 11 zone. mY best 60' was a 1.774 so I know there is more there. Wow what a blast. It is fun going with goos traction.
I also replaced all the suspension bushings in the rear with poly. The MM poly CA bushings really did stiffen the rear a lot. If you do those it is handy to have a press, well almost a necessity. I have the Raxle axles so I should be good for some hard launches. I think I am hooked. The best I have had to date in 13 second runs, couldn't get any traction. I hit 12's last weekend and already I want 11's!!!
