I know pulling tire isn't always the best for E.T. But it is one of the goals. I should easily meet and exceed my other goal of 11s N/A but the pulling tires is very up in the air.

You are making 7XX max hp but what are you making at launch? sounds like you leave around 3500 rpm so that is the big thing that will pull the tires(along with many other factors obviously).

no travel on the front end of really fast cars because they will flip over. even on a crappy track the front end is still tied down. nitrous timer or less boost on the launch, timing, rear shock settings, etc.

Right. You just confirmed what I said. More forward movement instead of up and down

i like the new front setup. Were they a direct bolt in? What Kind of drop components did you have in the front before this setup? If you don't mind post up the part numbers on these please. Thanks

Ordered my AMS1000 today along with all the co2 stuff i needed, wife is gonna get me a meth kit for a early xmas present! So maybe ill make it back out again this year and give it hell! Plan on leaving the line at 8#'s or so and ending up with 2X#'s of boost at the end of the track :] Air 2 Water combo will have to be done at a later date, i may be fabbing me up a special turbo kit this winter

This front kit didnt actually work 100%, it was designed for a old school G-body car frame, i ran outta adjustment on my shocks due to my front springs being shorter so i have em at the machine shop getting some spacers made now, ill get ya some pics after im done and if it gives me the adjustment i need it will be a killer setup
