Default New Best at VMP

This is the first time at the track with the new suspension setup. Only shaved a tenth or so off but I know there is more in it. The suspension is more than capable of 60fting 1.7xx or better. Im just trying to relearn my launch technique with this new setup. Before suspension was done to the car I could barely launch the car at 1500rpm's and keep the wheels planted. Now im stalling it up higher than I ever have and the car is holding. I only got 2 runs in but its a good start.

1st run
60ft: 1.853
330 5.246
1/8 8.063 @ 87.12 MPH
1000 10.489
1/4 12.540 @ 109.87 MPH

2nd Run
60ft: 1.815
330 5.200
1/8 8.022 @ 87.14 MPH
1000 10.456
1/4 12.514 @ 109.45 MPH

Slowly geting the 60fts down. With more seat time im thinking its a 12.3xx car.

did you have the blue fbod? 'abrino perf.' or something on the rear window?

nice car if that's you

if the car's an auto, you may want to think about stalling it VERY AGGRESSIVELY. trust me, it works

Im running on some BFG drag radials. I was kinda dissapointed when I left the track but then again its the first time I have been out since the middle of last year and the first time I have run on this suspension setup. So I am pleased knowing more is in it. I havent been out because every day I have been off I have been working on the car. Just got a break from working on it this week so I decided to take it out before anything else goes on the car to get some baseline numbers.
