2nd time to the track and I found something out...
You might want to work on your reaction time as well. You look like you are in a deep sleep at the line LOL
Definately get some drag radials. I got mine and I found a .1 sec drop in my time and I am MUCH more consistant.

Exactly. I wasn't worried about the reaction times since I was trying out different launch ideas. But something just did occur to me. I have variable rated springs on the rear. I put them on there since this car used to be my 'truck'. Variable rate springs get stronger when you add more weight and therefore would be horrible for weight transfer. :rolleyes:

Yes, my thoughts as well. I do understand that the reaction time fits into the whole dragracing experience but I am just working on one piece at a time.
understandable. Work on the launch, then the shifting, then the burnout, then the r/t.
or is it burnout, then launching, THEN shifting, then r/t.
oh yeah, your brake comes in handy at some point.

I am happy to announce that I have sold the site to Robert (FirebirdGT). Years ago this site went down when TealV6 had it, I bought it, refreshed it,...
Went ahead and moved my starter wire from the back, to the front again since it had no effect on my drain on the battery. Also made me nervous driving...
