Results of my Drag event last night!
Randy,
Are you running traction bars? Also, an old trick was using air shocks, run the shocks up to 150 PSI and weight transfer is instantaneous! Good luck on your next runs and let us know when you're running next! It's been tears since I've been to a 'Run what you brung night "

Randy..... Very good job buddy... Finally you are getting your money's worth. Very nice. I would love to have run at 53 degrees on my stock motor for comparison... Shouldn't make that big of a difference. Good job. Call me, we gotta get together...

Good deal for that far above sea level . You should be able to get that 60ft down to 2.0 on streets . I have done it with out much trouble . You just cant get the tires spinning much . The night I broke the motor , I ran my best of 12.98 @108 with a 1.98 60ft on streets...at 850ft above sea level .

So when someone tells you they ran a particular reaction time at a track, it's always good to ask how the reaction time is measured. This track measures with .500 being 0.00, so my equivelant time at a track measuring from .500 would have been a .765...this is because anything under .500 is considered a farse (or foul at the track) because no one can actually react faster realistically.
Would still like to see a G coupe get under 12's and not have to have the internals changed out due to fatigue. I hate rebuilding engines as I have done it twice on my 3000gt, due to 1 time belt skipped
and 2 I needed forged internals to handle 600+ hp which it has right now.Keep up the good work, I will be following your story closely.
Paul.

I wish you were out here to show me how...60ft are my demon!

Randy, Great times......your investment has really paid off....
I think if you keep more gas in your tank, and allow the front setting to be soft, so the front end lifts a little to transfer the weight to the rear ( in the old days they were called 90/10 shocks, which really aided in weight transfer to the rear wheels) I think you launches and shift points will be greatly improved.....Just a suggestion...either way Great job!!!!!!
