Well we got a 1/8th mile track close that don't tech at all really, so I headed there for a little 60' and 330' practice on the 26" slicks. Unfortunately I didn't have anyone to video what the suspension was doing upon launch. Track is 60' short of the true 1/8th, that's y times look to b so fast.. I just compare 60' and 330' and can guesstimate true 1/8th times by adding .5 or so to the time depending on car/ truck.

Just chipping away edging closer and closer to them 11's on my 12.56 run on 28's the slip was 1.85 (60') 5.21 (330') 8.04 (1/8th) @ 89.20.. So these runs r 7.8 or so in the true 1/8, maybe a tad quicker. Not to shabby for a skreet car lol. Has tools and crap everywhere in it, all seats still in.. Bla bla. Gonna make some 1/4 passes and then it's tubular front suspension time, and redo rear suspension to help with weight transfer.. Would really like to see low 1.6's high 1.5's on motor, minus a little weight should = solid 11's I'm getting there slowly but surely

Your rear is probably fine. The front is probably gonna be the load of the weight transfer. You dont want the rear to squat. Its more of the front releasing. Anyway go and get those times down
