These look great. No issue with front tires hitting when turned in?

Numbers I found are QA1 10 450, so 450lb springs in the front and 12-130 in the rear

I'm shocked they are compressed that much. I run a 450lb on my HDK and they aren't compressed nearly that much. However, mine are 12" springs. It almost looks like they would get into coil bind on a big bump.

I avoid big bumps lol. Not sure, might be with all the twins and all the piping. Unless I read the number wrong was on the back side and using a mirror, hopefully not a 10-150.
 
Finally made it to the track. The car wouldn’t foot brake over 2500rpm after switching to hy-gard so no boost on launch. It left like a dog, but I had zero traction issues. 2nd pass of the night was the quickest, and the third was just barely shy of my 140mph goal.
I’m car 175

Wow it’s making way more power than the et would suggest. There’s a bunch more in it if you can get the short time figured out.
 
These are the two runs from the slips. I was doing my best to get the rpm’s up but it just wasn’t happening. On the 139 run I tried launch control and it just died. I have a new turbo converter from PTC that should solve that issue.




 
Big congratulations! 111MPH at the 8th?! You were flying man!
What PSI was this?
 
2.2 60’… get your launch figure out and your ET will improve (obviously)
Very impressive
 
Thanks! 15-16 psi

A looser converter is definitely needed to get my 60ft down. Not much I can do when it won’t leave over 2500 rpm! Calculator shows zero percent slip up top though so at least I can be sure the trans isn’t slipping

Spray it with N2O. It’ll loosen the converter up.
:lol:
