Bruce, I ran a [email protected] that pass.

I'm not sure why but everyone seemed to be running slower that day. When I was at SCR15 the car ran 12.15@115 and I was spinning in first gear....the temp was in the upper 50's at Byron compared to August weather at Joliet. I thought for sure it would be in the high 11's on Saturday. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

A stiffer spring, such as a Moroso and/or a air bag would help plant the right rear (level the front).

You may have been hooking too good. At times a little tire slip is not a bad thing, as it allows the engine to operate within the RPM range where it makes the most power.

An air bag in the passenger rear will keep that front tire on the ground. 15-20 lbs is good.

I'd say you have 100% traction if that wheel is going up..Looks cool. I'd leave it alone.

But you do use [waste] some HP to get it all twisty like that [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for the tips Tom and Jim.

I currently have QA1 12 position shocks and air bags in the rear. I just need some more seat time to get them adjusted so the car launches level.

The car leaves very different at 4000 RPM's vs. off idle!!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/[/img]

Bruce....glad you like them. I'll post any others as soon as they come up.

Kurt
