Friday Night Results!

First real track outting with the new wheels and hoosiers. I set the tires to 15psi cold and went up for my first pass, left at 5 grand, car lugged down hard. 60' was good but lost a lot of momentum. 12.047 @ 114.17. The air wasnt good 1650' @ 8pm down to 1500' @ 10pm. i made changes to my front shock settings and launch rpm, which had negative impact on traction. i put my shocks back to the previous setting and a little less rpm, 5700, the car responded well and knocked off an 11.986 @ 114.54! Very impressive considering the last time it went 11.9 was with a -800 DA. Im pretty confident ill hit my goal of 11.6 later this season in better air the way the car sits, Then take weight out and go for 11.50s. Heres my slips

Those wheels must be light as hell. Nice passes

Nice times, getting the car to move. I reeally need to get up there and see what i run, im thinkking i can two weeks from now.

^ me too haha. Isn't there a formula for taking rotational weight off. Something along the lines of taking 60lbs of rotational weight is like taking 180 lbs of dead weight? Or something like that.

Yes but its a very rough estimate. To be more precise you should include the rotational velocity and radius. *pushes glasses up*

The formula that I made is;

Light wheels x 4 = Faster

Thats getting it buddy. Do you have a 2 step in that thing yet? I bet it would make for a lot more consistant launch. I love my lingenfelter 2 step. Easy to install and great color directions for different tranny setups.
