New to drag racing. Need advice.

I really appreciate your advice. So....tuning before traction. Damn these Wisconsin winters!!!

I've never been a fan of "throwing money at a problem", and I thank you for your honesty.

After looking at the launch video closer, it's not like I'm burning rubber and turning out of my intended line.

Well to give you an idea of what can be gotten on the cheap I had little to no money in the late 80's and got my A Body down to 11.70's and it was a no frills build with a small block. I did it with stock springs, drilled out front shocks, no sway bar, pinion snubber, longer length rear shocks, and a set of slicks. Herb Mccandless helped me along and the major money spent outside of the motor was a good converter. There are members on here that have done well beyond that but it was a shoestring budget for sure. It's just an example of what you can do if your looking to spend your money wisely....

But if I had to make a purchase today based off my needs it would be Caltracs....
