Thanks man. That's the goal for this year. The 7.004 might be a high 10 second pass but it would be close. I have been shooting for a 6.99 which would almost guarantee a high 10 second pass.

The truck is pretty close to the car. Maybe next year. I am probably done running for the year since the tracks close early down here. I would like to make a 1/4 mile pass but 3 hours is to far to drive for me.

Interesting, that's exactly what I did, except went from the bottom shock bolt to an eye bolt beside the upper shock mount. Do you have any preload on it, or how much slack do you have at resting height? I tried mine with no slack/no preload and it seemed to help it go straight, but still spins pretty bad. Wanted to try a few different ways, but I got the boot, and my trans took a before I got to test it.

I don't have much of a preload on mine. I just loosen up the top bolt enough to hook the chain with no slack and then tighten it back up. It does preload it just a little bit when I tighten the bolt back up but not much. I didn't launch anything harder than 4psi but it hooked good at that level. Do you have your tortion bars lowered down?

I have them lowered to sit level with the rear blocks removed. I have a 2" shackle I may add to the rear, then lower the front more to match. You think that would help? I have my premise about the same as yours. I think my little tc76 just spools too fast. If I launch at any boost at all, it wants to get sideways bad, and that's with 285/60/18 kumho stx's which are decently sticky for a street tire. My 11.53 run was with a 2.2x 60'!

I can't believe I couldn't get that extra .005 to hit my goal for this year.
Awesome job! Are you running full weight?

Not completely full weight. I run my stock wheels and tires instead of the 20's and remove the easy stuff like bed liner, hitch, tail gate, spare and subs. My race weight is about 5,150 which is about as light as I can get it in under an hour.
