Dude Get the License. Why **** up a good thing. Suspention will only make you faster.
Lower 60' and ET, BUT, lower MPH... help please
So I need to drop about a tenth off my ET and my 60', but can't go over 135mph. Which I am already going a little over 135, with 135.7 and 135.9 being my best passes. I'm putting on some QA1's in the front, prolly Strange adjustables in the rear, and a Spohn drag sway bar. I have to stay under 135mph in the 1/4 since I don't have an NHRA license. The car is running 10.1x-10.3x pretty consistently and I just need a little more to run in the 10.0 range. The 10.1's come on a fresh bottle and the car slows down a little on the second pass. I'm just worried about the first pass out of a bottle right now. The battery is still in the front, but I don't think that hurts too much.
Any thoughts?

I will prolly get the license next season, I have a lot of work to do to make the car legal to go quicker than 9.99. It'll be a busy winter for sure. 10pt, *caughturbocaugh*, chute, and a nice hood.
No way a 10pt?? I could swear you were talking shit about my 10pt a couple months ago:ciappa:I will prolly get the license next season, I have a lot of work to do to make the car legal to go quicker than 9.99. It'll be a busy winter for sure. 10pt, *caughturbocaugh*, chute, and a nice hood.
Your required to have a chute to go faster than 10.00? Thats serious. I would think like upgraded brakes or something before a chute...
Oh yea and wtf is a coughturbocough?? jk lol Do it bro that would be nasty.
And you know you want one of those Carbon Fiber hoods, save 10lbs bro lol

I've seen people go 8's on stock brakes with a good super-comp Stroud chute.
I guess its cheaper then? But what about the TrueStreetCar look? I hate to say it but Ive never seen any car on the street with a parachute on the back...
Why are you so surprised about a chute?
You need a chute after 150mph in the 1/4. That's the goal next year.I guess its cheaper then? But what about the TrueStreetCar look? I hate to say it but Ive never seen any car on the street with a parachute on the back...
A true street car is a car that's driven on the street, A LOT. It will still be driven on the street with a chute, A LOT.
And Joe, I wasn't talking shit about your 10pt, I was talking shit about your lexan window, fiberglass rear hatch, no interior panels/carpet, brake lights on a toggle, no tranny cooler, no radiator, no battery, and no alternator. The 10pt is for safety. :wink:
lol, now it has an alternator, radiator, tranny cooler, brake lights, same battery its always had, and a 10pt for when it I drive it to the track. It will always have a 17 pound hatch and 15 or so pound hood:driving:
Sounds good, no you just need some interior and to drive it on the street. :afro:lol, now it has an alternator, radiator, tranny cooler, brake lights, same battery its always had, and a 10pt for when it I drive it to the track. It will always have a 17 pound hatch and 15 or so pound hood:driving:
I don't know if you're still working on the .1, but are you running a Trans brake or foot brake? Also, the chute is cheap insurance! I've talked to a few guys that wished they'd had them after the fact, but never met someone that regretted putting one on their car. Remember that purple barracuda that won one of the Pinks All Out episodes last year? That car is totaled now, and the owner said that if he had a chute he would have been able to save it. He was only running 138mph if I'm not mistaken.

Are you competing in a class or just running for shits and giggles? If you were running for shits and giggles Id say who cares what you are certified to, just go out and run it. They kick you off the track for the night, they kick you off. a friend of mine drove his viper to an 8.90 and got kicked off the track right after. He still took his 8.90 and went home.
But if youre running a class, none of that matters.

It was for a class. Doesn't matter now though, motor broke.
Doh....what happened to the motor??
Damn Sean that sucks, that car was looking good last night.
Broke some pistons.
Thanks Chupac

That sucks man! Did it lean out or detonate?
Looks like it leaned out. Its been running great and all of a sudden, bam. Oh well, I'm done with nitrous now, its getting a turbo.
Turbo FTW. I'm sure you will like not having to **** with changing bottles after every two passes.
very nice runs guys, sorry that your car broke sean it was moving that nite.
finchstang nice job with the car thats the best i've ever seen that car.
