Damn you auto's! Haha, great pass! I was out there as well, but couldn't get under 1.7's, first time out with adjustable shocks/struts. I ran a few 11.8's at 120+, kooks exhaust, JLT intake, canned tune. Weather was nice yesterday, wish they'd keep the Rock open for a few more weekends.

Weather was great. good MPH man. I've got some better tires coming in this week.
I am going to try to get to Fayetteville this Saturday if the weather is good enough.

Awesome run your car runs great. I run similar setup but with nt05r 275 40 17. No where near your 60ft. My best 1.70. Did ur k member really help? All I've done was sway bar deleted

K-member picked it up from 11.69 @ 116 to the 11.51. A little cooler day but the sixty was 1.63 on the 11.69 so the weight loss seemed to help too. It went 7.46 @ 93 on the 11.69 pass so it gained 1 mph too.

what other differences have you noticed with the k member? I'm thinking about doing a bmr k-member and a-arms/chassis brace/radiator support, curious how those changes will impact my car.

I can't tell any difference in the driving or stability. No noise either. Mine is a BMR and I have the radiator support as well.

Congratulations on a new PB, are you still running the stock LCA's and UCA? I was parked a few cars down from you in the White Saleen Convertable and was have a very difficult time getting a good 60' at The Rock. My car usually 60' in the 1.6"s at our local 1/8 mile track and I was 1.9-2.0 60' at Rockingham, but I finally did make a couple 11.9x passes both at 121+ mph.

I have an upper control arm but the lower ones are stock. 121 is a good mph. I ran at Fayetteville on Sunday and ran another 11.51 but the sixty was only a 1.66 on that one. Track was cold and a little slick. I did pick up to 118.5 mph because of spinning a little more I guess. You have a nice looking ride by the way.

OP is your car your daily driver? Just curious, I'm thinking about doing a k-member myself but have been suspect of the increased harshness of the poly mounts even though mine is'nt my daily driver. Great times by the way, hoping I can get to a track soon with some decent prep...

Mine is not my daily driver, I have had it a year now and only have 5200 miles on it. I have only had the k-member on for about 300 miles now. I will be going back to my factory wheels and tires for the winter here soon and probably driving it a little more this coming year. Good luck to you when you get to the track.
