Don't you hate it when you have a good run like that and your 60' sucks??? I think thats murphy's law or somthing. I'd like to see some videos of your passes with the 1.30 60's. What is your front suspension set up?

I can't belive how hard that car runs with a hydraulic cam. We had a bandit car several years ago that ran 9.20's and it had 440 cubes. I'll have my car at WSC in my, hope to see your car there too.

Front suspension is pretty basic. D&D K-Member/A-Arms/CoilOvers, AVO Single adjustable struts. There is more on the combo at last column here:

I've never used avo shocks or struts so I don't know how well they work. The front end was staying down better in those vids. I would put some chains on the front that way if the track is hookin real good, you can chain the front down and get real agressive. I've never raced at gateway for any other race the wfc, but I'm sure gateway is a track where you can use the chains to your advantage.

I'm not going to tell you to spend a bunch of money to squeeze out a few more tenths. I would recomend a 12in wide rear rim, and a 28x10.5 stiff wall slick. That will make the car more stable at speed, and it should help your 60' a little. I know you'll have to change gears to compensate for the taller tire, but I think it would be worth it in the end.
