I didn't get many pictures today but my buddy with me is in charge of that and he shoots in high def.

Car went 10.21 and 10.24 back to back with a complete potato behind the wheel. I think we'll be okay this week

you running dial your own?

Street Machine Eliminator which is based on a 10.0 Index but making the top 32 typically takes a 10.70 or better. I want to say last year 10.030 was number 1 qualifier, 10.28 was top 5 and 10.38 was top 10? After the first few slots the gap widens pretty quick.

you should be in good shape then.

How close can you get without actually getting it? I'll go first.

christ. Strip the weight and bolt on the skinnies and I'd probably see air.

This was my 10.21 pass. Still in the 1.5's 60ft. Using launch Control set at 1700 and building a little over 6psi at the hit.

What are you running for pressure in the MT's?

Also, are the MT's slipping on the wheels?

I want to say they're at 18psi right now. I'll check in the morning.

They're mounted to Forgestar D5 single beadlocks so I hope not.

you running them on the street?

No sir. Track only. I have the stock 20's on some junk ass 275/40's for Street use.

Let me know if you see slipping, my MT's slipped like crazy on my RaceStars, until I found a way to stop it.

I haven't seen any on the inside bead yet.

The MT guys mounted their warranty replacement with permatex red on the inside which is also knurled.

How’s launch control working out for you?

How’s launch control working out for you?

Not bad actually. Used it both passes today but I forgot it was a pro tree and I was like ZOMGWTFBBQ but we got the swing real quick. Car will go faster if we quit short-shifting first/second. 10.21 and 10.24 back to back on similar 1.5x's 60ft and trapping 137ish.

I've been faster with more pulley on the foot brake (9.84 & 9.87) but being dialed back like this it's fairly usable.

 

[Unholy707]

I used anti seize on my beadlock bolts only spun tire on wheel once when I dropped it down to 15 psi

 

[Unholy707]

Yeah I just stab it I don’t even foot brake and I cut a 1.45 60’ and run low 9.8. Could be better if I actually launched the car I think

 

[Unholy707]

Hoping to have another 70 lbs or so out of the car and a few other things done before race season starts here

You’re actually supposed to, it’s stainless or other steel into aluminum

 

[fubar569]

I at least come up on the foot brake a weee little to preload everything and take the shock out. Then it's pedal thru the floor.
