New best time...6.45 1/8th w/1.43 60ft.
Made a few passes yesterday at a local 1/8th mile dragstrip. I have been tuning on the suspension and engine since switching to VP racing fuel. Second pass on 125 shot (delayed until 20' out the gate) hung the front wheels over a foot in the air for a truck lenght. It went 6.45 @ 109 with a 1.43 60ft. This was leaving at 3000 rpm with the 2 step and transbrake. I think I can safely say it's close to being dialed in!
Failed to get a video yesterday but hope to repeat this weekend at the "House of Hook" in Jackson, SC. I promise to get plenty of footage if weather permits.

But will get me a speeding ticket at most dragstrips without a rollbar!

It's a good feeling when it leaves that hard. Funny thing is you can actually feel the springs in the stock seat letting you sink in. I weigh just a little over 200lbs. and believe I sink in about 2" when the transbrake releases.

Holy crap! Are pulling that 60ft with just stock leafs and cal-tracs. What's your entire suspension setup? I haven't seen a stock style suspension NBS pull the wheels.
