Yard Sale
Now. To the fun stuff. A friend of mine recommended getting a Dragy. Basically I very accurate GPS. I’ve been doing very short runs just trying to learn where it’s happy shifting and launching. Shifting at 6k seems to give the best number. My real issue is launch. If course I went right up in the converter the first couple of times...nothing but tire spin. With these drag radials they just keep spinning, can’t just pedal it like bias tires. I really have to lift to stop them. Anyway, I’ve lowered the launch rpm. 2800 and let it toll out before I hammer it.. still more spin than I want. Started adjusting tire pressure, 17 seems to work well. Even with that it seems like it just powers through the tires. I haven’t checked piñon angle since I installed the new springs. Crawled under and got to it. Currently sitting at 2 down. I ordered up some 2 degree shims last night. ( almost orders rear shocks too). Should have 4 degrees with the shims. We can go from there. Keeping in mind I’m working with stock shocks and a front that needs attention. As is I’m seeing mid 4 second 0-60 and my 60’ is around 2.0
If I can get that down 2-3 tenths I’ll be happy.
