Drag Strip tips and advice needed.

I say go the other direction... he's going to tnt for fun, not to chop the tree down and go rounds. I wouldn't spend a penny on anything right now.

Get the car to MPH. That's going to be making best HP. Tune what you have and get it sorted out. Where is the timing all in, what are the AF's going down the track, that sort of stuff and make changes to get it to run best.

What tire pressure? I'd run those tires at 20-22 psi. If you are running the same pressure as driving around on the street (30-38), too much. The bugaboo with drag radials is the idea they run pressures like a slick, they don't. They tend to need more pressure, see plenty running 14-18 and that is almost always way too low. The rule here is run the most pressure you can that produces the best 60'. If it 60's 1.50 at 15 and 22 psi, run 22!

Then if you want to get the suspension to 60', start making changes. There is a TON of time locked up in the front end of your car.
