Re: Got my 10

Aright!!!!!!! :thumb: :thumb: How did you do it? After feedback on here I am now flashing the converter (off of a 1500 rpm preload).

Re: (now more of why my car cant 60) Shift Point.HP or TQ peak??

Supernova is onto something with the launch rpm thats why I asked how you leave the line.One thing I did see in the pic was you rear suspension is not seperating its compressing this is why you car doesnt 60 foot. The pinion angle is one of those things where some people will tell you it will help ...

My next race will be at Speed World on 1-16-2010...Ford v Chevy race....after that I will be at all the TnT at ...

I have ran the slick from 13 psi down to 6 psi with no change at all!!! I have non adjustable arms so I am SOL on that. I am thinking about doing a anti roll...
