let me kwhen ya go to SAR now
Did about a dozen 60ft launches yesterday and had some good results. Started off at 1.7s leaving with no boost, then 1.6s leaving on 3 lbs. Made adjustments to caltracs to get truck to leave in straight line and put shocks one click past softest and by the end of the night my last two passes were 1.58 and 1.57. My slick was spinning on rim and I could leave on more boost but I was kinda limited on only a 9" wide slick. Very happy with 1.5s and I'm sure it will get better next time out.

Those are some great 60's. What 60' did your ecsb cut for comparison?

Extended cab was consistantly in the 1.7s. It had a glory pass of 1.48 once and 1.6s a few times but other than that it stayed in the 1.7s. I kinda wish I would have done the shock relocation and worked with the blue truck more. I quit on it before reaching it's true potential.

Yes, it did better a click from the lowest setting. I have a slight noise from the gears now so I think it's time for a gear swap. THe current gears have been through 3 years of hell and still haven't broken. 3.42s are next on my agenda and will consult a guy that does roll bars. It sucks to run 7.6s @ 66mph and 8.2s @ 14mph, LOL.

408 CI, 9.5 compression, patriot stage 3 lq9 heads, 226 230 EPS cam, ARP studs and I gues that covers the main parts. Any questions just ask.
