I bought the rpm unit late last year, and have only tested with it twice. I will say that it was very easy to set up, very easy to use and on my second time out my car picked up .19 over my best ever! And the best part is...i see even more improvement available. I would definetly purchase the same u...

I'm not saying the Mph is wrong...just that the ET does not match it. Your 1/8 should be 6.20 or better with that mph because its not hooking. A friend of mine has the soft lock setup in his car and it works pretty decent. My opinion is that it is pretty crude setup...but it works decent. Even if i ...

Good point about the water box, i always roll at least a foot beyond it.

I have had my car hook VERY good when i didnt dump clutch....it was a accident, also more gear would help.

Not bad for first time back out! The 6.6 1/8 and that mile an hour just dont match up. It definetly is spinning bad.... slippery tracks and stick cars dont 60 ft good...lol At least it went straight. What rear gear are you running? It looks like alot of wheel speed? I agree with John soften those re...

I'm not even going to guess on the improvement....but i guarantee there will be a nice one. I have had my 210's on anything from a 327 to my current 383, And have been very satisfied on each combo. I'm just wondering at what point i need to step up to a larger head? If ever? I have gone 9.80 135 at ...

Your right Bill....i pull second gear when the front wheels hit there highest point, prob 40 ft out. If i shift at shift light front end bounces and unsettles the car and is more of a handfull to drive. The motor in my car is very torquee and it does not slow it down much by short shifting. I think ...

Im not exactly sure what caused it to happen....but i think it is some kind of susp issue? As for LACR its not that bad...track can suck, air is always bad except this time of year,...

My car is similar to yours. So i can say from Experience make sure those shocks are not bottoming out....i left mine in the stock position in front of rear because they had less travel than the comp eng. shocks that were on there before. So i didnt want to mount them behind the axle because the cal ...
