Track Times with ET Drags and Viking Shocks

[hopony]

Last Week I added dragstar 94s and viking double adjustable shocks to my m6 Paxton car. The first pass ended up being the best pass we had all night. Missed second a couple of times and didn't turn traction control all the way off once. Which makes a 4 mph difference on the big end. I would also like to thank Kelly at BMR for his help on getting the car to hook. I am sure we will get it in the 10's next time out.

Thanks Blazer! Just BMR Radiator Support without sway bar and the 17x4's in front. On 93 with a bottle of lucas octane booster just because it is hot out.

Do you have e85 in your area? That would make 10's come fast.

No e85 near, I can get it at work in 55 gallon drums, but I would feel better doing a fuel system first. I can also get Gulf Mach 116 expensive, but denser than 93 so I would not need to upgrade fuel system.

This is Great! Congrats!!

Try a race gas tune with the gulf 116 and see where it puts you.

Probably got more humid as the night went on?... how was the DA?

Around 1500 ft but it was 90% humidity that night.

What are your shocks set at?

started at 4 and 12 1st pass
5 and 13 2nd pass gave me best 60' of the night.

What are the rest of your mods? Stock drivetrain? I have a similar setup. 11.4 is my best ET so far on a 15" drag radial, looking for 10's as well but clutch started chattering pretty bad. That's a nice 60 I can't get past 1.74.

Are those Viking rear shocks good for street/auto cross? Or are they better for a drag racing setup?

They have 18 settings of compression and rebound. I would imagine they will work for anything. They should have fronts for our cars soon.
