Re: 1/8 mile gear selections

you can play with your roll out and try leaving the same each time. or if your track allows it you can deep stage and wait till the last yellow turns off? we have played with roll outs on our car with air pressure. just try and stage the same each time and leave at the same rpm.

I would pull the cam and check those bearings too. We had a oil filter go bad on us and it spun a bearing and it looked really burnt. if ...
