Your new coilover shocks limit the upward suspension travel. Yeah its a good thing for 60's times...

13.8 1/4mi
1.8 60ft..

ties my best 60ft and I think i was taking it easy.. i didn't want to break anything.. and that is with 17" zr1s.. i'm betting with my stock wheels and snow tire slicks i might be able to get a 1.7 if i setup the suspension right :D

Re: special pics

At least the photographer at the track got one picture of my launch since my picture taking crew was sleeping (Tydriver). My best run was a 10.6 with a 1.5 60ft. On that run I launched with 2psi and ran 23psi max. I turned up the boost for the second run to 25 and left with 6psi but lost traction right after launch and had to completely dump the throttle to avoid going sideways. I guess the track wasn't prepped from what I heard. Second run only netted a 10.7 :(.

I have a video of your 10.6 pass.

I'm currently going through all the videos my wife took.
I will try to post these on the SYTYHomecoming web site.

i know how that is... first run went straight at the wall.... though, i was not building boost, just rolling into the gas off the line.

i need to learn how to drive that thing down the track i guess. my times were just plain embarassing... oh well, i will figure it out sooner or later.

Re: special pics

fyi, the photographer wants $15 for a higher res version of the picture..

way to high if you ask me, especially since he is just attaching the picture to an email..

i told him it was too high, he said it is how he makes a living.. :tdown:

of course, I wasn't knocking the guy.. I just can't justify $15 to attach a picture to an email.. if he offered a 8x10 print for that much i would have bought it.
