Re: I'm lost, ignorant and out of my league, no doubt.
once in high gear and at max rpm you will travel at max mph, reducing 60 ft. times will decrease E.T. and actually could lower MPH because youll reach the timers before max mph.

Re: Launch problem
squats way to much...do you know the IC length and height?
strikes the tires so hard the wheelie bars and smacking the ground....extension setting on shocks is where?
check with the tire manufacturer if the tire matches the application.
if i spot your car at the grove sometime ill stop by.

Re: TOO MUCH TRACTION?

Re: Big tire setup and tire shake...

Re: Big tire setup and tire shake...
