Default new 1/4 times....kinda

last best time was 12.20@110+
new best time was 12.19@109/59


im not sure whats going on with my MPH. the first time out after the heads i was trapping 110+ every run. this truck is consistant though...my last 3 times at the track were 12.202, 12.22, 12.197 in all different kinds of weather.

i put the tire pressure at 17 lbs instead of 13 and got rid of the wheel hop and hooked alot better 1.69 60'

Your MPH fell off because of less tire spin. It's weird how that works, tire spin will usually net a higher MPH.
Congrats on the new best

a buddies wife got video of the run. ill post it up as soon as they get it done. i beat up a camaro pretty bad. until then here is a vid of my first run only stalling it to 1000rpm. it was a 1.72 60'. if i stall it to 1500 it goes 1.69.

i asked a buddy to video my back tire to see how bad im spinnin...but at 17psi it stuck like glue just happened to get a little tire wrinkle action
