Back in the day there where some N/A guys with 60's in the 1.7 or faster range as well. Some simple things like making sure everything is where it is supposed to be can go a long way.

It cracks me up when I see guys with 300 rwhp trucks bitching about traction issues on the race track.

If I had to guess, the most common issue is with dropped trucks. People do flip kits without c-notches, run stupid shock angles, have driveshaft angles that are fucked up, have garbage shocks and probably a host of other **** that doesn't lend itself to allowing the suspension "work".

I'm always down to help someone get their stuff lined out even if I have to go to the track with them (which I obviously don't mind since I like going to the track). It amazes some, how the littlest things can make the biggest difference whether it be chassis or ecm tuning.

My philosophy regarding building/driving/performance evaluating your ride (whether you do the work yourself and need help, or are paying someone to do the mods and you still need help) is that I don't condone taking performance away from one part of the ride and giving it to another. Some well placed dollars (and it doesn't have to be much in most cases) and time should be able to benefit the program from the staging beams to the lights. This philosophy, almost 100% of the time, makes owning and driving the vehicle that much more enjoyable. Which is the entire reason we do this **** in the first place.
