Well, I made 1 motor hit just to make sure it would go straight and it actually spun the tires a little. I had them set at 14 prior to burnout as one was hot and one was cooler, so I just wanted an easy pass anyways. Went a 6.72@106 with roughly 160 additional lbs in it over a normal motor pass and with only 32 degrees timing vs 36 I normally would run.
Prepped the car for the nitrous, dropped tire pressure to 12 lbs while they were warm after the first pass. Setup the nitrous and went and made a hit. The car pulled the front wheels and just kept on climbing. I am not sure how high it went until I see the video, but the front wheels were at least 3' off the ground and the guys behind me could see the hood over the roof LOL. I let off when I realized it was still climbing and as it was coming down, nailed the throttle again before it hit. It still slammed a little bit, and made a few sparks I guess from the headers hitting, but it was not a hard hit and I didn't even feel it. It bounced and went up another couple feet before I got out of it again. Basically an aborted pass as I nailed it a couple more times down track and just got squirrely. It went 1.48 sixty foot and Glassman Chad said that was on the back tires.
I tightened up the front struts from zero to 7, pulled out 4 more degrees of timing and went up for a pass, but my chicken a$$ was too scared and launched on motor hitting the juice after the sixty foot. Went like a 4.00 to the 330, but I started moving towards the left wall and got out of the groove a bit, so I lifted.
I'm going to move the weight from the trunk to the back seat tomorrow and if I have time, may make me some home made travel limiters.
I need to get me some real front runner tires as I don't remember them walking around like this with these radials up front.
So the rear suspension now seems to be working, but now I gotta figure out how to keep it from coming up more than a couple feet without wheelie bars.
