beefcake

One more week (4 weeks old) into the rig has netted me even better times.

This time, in more true street form, i now have my A.R.E. cap on which weights a good 100 pounds or so, I still have the sway bar pulled, but it always will be. I also kept the tailgate on. The only thing I removed was the spare.

With the cap, i would say i'm about even between the spare and sway bar as far as weight.

I did add the traction bars, but on street tires i don't think they do much, as matter of fact, my best run was with a worse 60' than last week.

Anyway heres the slip. I actually put my 2 12.76 runs on one slip so you could see them.

funny thing is, my faster run has a worse 60' and worse mph, however, the 330 and 1/8 mile times are exactly the same.



the better weather must have definately helped, considering i was also about 150 pounds heavier than last week, and i picked up 2mph and 1.5 tenths. If you figure the 150 cost me 1.5 tenths, i really made 3 tenths today. Someone mentioned the fact that a cap and tailgate up would cause for less drag than no top and tailgate, i didn't believe it, but now i do!

Man, I can't wait for my slicks!

btw only 3000 miles on this puppy still

Beefcake, I think you need to get the snubbers closer to the springs. Email me, and we can discuss it.

I picked up .3 seconds when I went from F-1's
to ET Streets. You should see an improvement there.
