new best at the track today.....

[abodyjoe]

went to the track today to see how that new rear suspension worked... holy crap did it make a difference... 60 foot time went from a 1.689 to a 1.632. plus it used to lift the left front wheel about 2 inches at the most.. well today it was bringing it up about 6".. my old best was a 12.27.. today i went a 12.17. the suspension is just incredible... the car leaned to the right some but i figure if i stiffened up the right shock it may help but i really didn't mess with it.. and i was told if i put the lower bars in the upper holes then it would limit the front end lift and maybe improve the 60' even more. personally i don't race the car enough to mess around with it that much. and i'm too lazy...lol

i gotta wonder though if maybe frame connecters, something bigger then 5/16 fuel line and something other then a stock fuel pump would put the car into the 11's....

check out the old and new time slips....

old best...

new best...

jamie even had a new best in the car... last time out she did a 13.7 best.. she was scared of the car...

today she went:

13.798
13.547
13.062
12.750

she was all excited to get into the 12's. she has to put her purse behind her on the seat so she doesn't slide back and not be able to floor it...lol. i don't let her do a burn out yet and she just puts it in drive and goes...

Go for the 11s, from what I've seen of your work it will be a breeze as you are practicaly there now!

2-3 hours tops for a new fuel line, sending unit and a new hi-po fuel pump. I bet the frame connectors will really help compliment that new RMS rear.

Congrats on the new best.
