Can't Hook Anymore

[Ed Blown Vert]

Since I got the new engine in. I can't hook anymore.
So now I have to make some changes.

I currently run ET Streets on 17" wheel. Plan on switching to a 16" wheel and ET Drags.

Suspension is all BMR with Eibach springs and Blisteins.
Thinking of going back to the stock springs on the rear.

What else can I do? My normal 60' is 2.0 or higher. Once in a while I will get a 1.9

man it sucks when you have that much power. i've cut 1.709 60 ft on nitto 315/35-17 DRs. that was on a nicely prepped track. how have you been launching? maybe see about getting the supercharger to spool later in the rpms.

move some weight around, battery to back ect. wider tires.

IMHO... you need a light weight 15" drag wheel with taller tire. It's foot print, not so much width that improves traction. I'd leave the rear springs and put something softer in the front. Some QA1's or Strange struts & shocks would help too.

[1fastcamarosss11]

i have qa1's it nice you can adjust them. at the track.

relocation brackets, a bigger tire and maybe back up to stock height......also a good idea is some QA1's or something.....and maybe an adjustable tq arm

I have 16" already. If 15" really make a difference I will get some. I run a 26" tire. You saying a 28" would be better? My gearing would also be higher.

I'll check out the QA1's

Got all the BMR stuff including the Relocation Brackets and a adj Torque Arm.

Trade your 383 for my 346 and you'll have no problems

I am sure part of the problem is the track prep.

I launch just off ide.

were you playing with the ASR there?

[ss~zoso~ss]

yea dude, getting a little close to the wall kinda when u were gettin sideways, what was the time on that run?

[ss~zoso~ss]

you need to find a way to get some fuckin zo6 or viper tires on there i'm talkin something along the lines of 345-365mm wide

[ss~zoso~ss]

even if it take a little body modification

Thats my Nitrous Button. I turned it on, then I starting spinning and started to lose it.

Don't remember, wasn't that good because I got out of it.

[HASTINGSRJ]

Ed, I am sure that if you go up to a real track, one that they actually prep, and its not a parking lot, it would do a hell of a lot better....just IMO

[Zboner]

there is no track prep at all on there? kinda scarry if you ask me

[Ed Blown Vert]

I don't think they prep at all. They did lay a concrete launch pad, but with no prepping whats the point?

[Zboner]

oh there is no point, it seems like they do not care about the track or the people that pay money to race
