nice times man, I am starting to dial mine in better and better I busted a 12.21@109 last night spinning out of the hole. I am only running a 9in wide slick for now, that will change by the weekend. If my 10.5 slicks still do not hook I will start messing with the bars as well.

preset the bars the way calvert says, then have someone pick up the bed and snug them down again. i firmed up my shocks alot more than i usually keep them too. rancho 9000x set to 7 of 9 firmness.

the suspension felt solid, now i just have to figure out how to plant the tire. im also probably due for a bigger converter since i swapped the ported fast and much bigger cam in.

I have them preset per calvert + 1 turn. my truck has a 2/4 drop and you can't tell in the rear. maybe I have to much preload on it?

looks like you already figured out to tighten the crap out of them. get a better tire on there and play with the bars. i didnt pay attention to how tight i got each bar, but it would launch and the *** end wanted to spit out sideways.

that was a badazz run eric! congrats on the times as i also hit a 12.5 or 6 run still slipping on the line, guess is time for a little weight reduction it was a great night out !!! mild temps low 80's with a bit of humidity.


congrats stew, so what become of the charging issue you mentioned of the other day?

i also heard you had your hands full with a silverado SS AWD!! at baytown.

nah, i ran out of juice...if i had a full bottle i would have left behind. guy claimed it was a 6.0 on a 100 shot and now im hearing its a 418 on a 200 shot. no telling what shot it really has but we know it was a 418 engine. were not really sure who won the race. the scoreboards were down and our slips dont show the winner or loser.
