Default Keeps Getting Better!

Went to the track last night with the new front suspension setup from QA1 and had some of the best 60' times with the truck so far, traction improved so much i was able to bump the 2 step up from 3500 to 3900, i will continue to raise the 2 step untill traction becomes a issue again... My best 60' of the night was a 1.60 and i must say it felt pretty damn good. Heres a vid of my best pass with a 10.49 and a 1.62 60'.... Dont pay no attention to that nitrous consuming monster beside me haha, i sure did see him out of the corner of my eye though

The 1.60 60" was it dead hook? Noticed on the video the tires were fighting for traction

I can only dream of a 1.6 60. The best I saw in my truck was 1.9 and from my 2.0-2.1 and I had a chubby. The reason I love drag racing is pulling Gs and I dream of 1.6!

This truck is awesome and can't wait to see it, full tilt. I have to imagine it is getting close. Any chance of seeing 9s with your meth/nitrous plans? I don't see why high 9s aren't possible in due time.

Is there a reason why you don't run a full slick? I'd bet you would lift a tire with some.

You can go faster with a drag radial, I'd bet with a full slick he will lose 2-3mph if not more. Can a full slick hook EASIER? Yes. But a drag radial has potential to hook just as good with a good suspension and I think he has all the components to do so!
