ran on slicks today, suggestions on gears??
well i made 5 motor passes today on 28x10.5x15S MT ET Drags. before on street 20" street tires and no weight reduction (about 4900 with me) i ran a best of 14.4@96 with 2.3 60 ft. Today i was pretty consistant, though it was not what i was expecting.i removed my sub/box spare tire and my nitrous bottle, which should be around 200lbs total. my 5 passes were:
14.60@90.1 2.09 60ft
14.58@93.3 2.14 60ft
14.53@93.6 2.14 60ft
14.49@93.7 2.11 60ft
14.52@93.8 2.13 60ft
I'm not sure what gears are in the rear since they are still stock, but i was barely shifting into 3rd at the 1/4 mark crossing at about 4300rpms i'm assuming i have 3.23 or 3.42's. and i cant 60ft for ****. Any suggestions on what gears would be better, without being too much for nitrous as well? Thanks
EDIT: its a GU5 which means i have 3.23's...
Here's a vid of the 14.53 run http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3hJqtX3z3I
