Default Re: Improved Drag Times

Beaner, you are making me feel a little guilty as that was my best time for the day. Here are acouple of others, not sure if they will make you feel better or not. Also, I lowered the pressure in the tires to 22 lbs.

3rd pass out of a set of 3.
60’ – 1.883
1/8 – 7.891
¼ - 12.168 @ 115.63

Les, I love the Forgestars as they give the car a more aggressive look. I really had a hard time trying to determine if I wanted polished or silver painted but finally decided on the silver which came out nice and match up on the car well. I really think either choice would have been great. I went with almost the exact setup you have – 18’s all around – considered 19’s in the rear but was concerned about such a thin tire in the rear with the width I wanted and how it would impact overall diameter – I want fast more than overall looks so the 18’s with 285/35 tires was a good balance.

I still need to lower the car about an inch all the way around to close the fender gap. Just been so busy with work I have not had a chance to get around to it. Once I do find the time, I will need some help from the forum to make the rear camber arms, drop/cut the springs,etc. I cannot wait to see it an inch lower…it should look awesome!
