Forgot to turn the stereo off. You don't hear much with everything closed anyway.

What have you done to your car to get such awesome traction? Thanks for sharing here or privately.

Who says I get traction?? LOL

My best passes have come on really hot days on regular Kumho radials. My best is an 11.2 and best mph is 129. I should be running low tens with that MPH.

My new engine is already blowing my old one away. I just put the 17psi springs in my WG and maxxed out my MAF. I never did that with the old engine at 575 hp and 23 psi.

It's a bad bitch for sure. By the feel of it. it'll run mid tens with ease even with a crappy 60'. We will see soon enough.

You gotta go get some slips

I'm considering a test/tune at Tucson Dragway. Just don't want to break stuff I have some shaved Victoracers on the shelf in the garage that will go on when the rears are bald. Next week

Best advice I can give you is to make sure the axle flange bolts are tight. You have some sort of lateral brace on the transaxle, and to slip the clutch out for a bit. From there it's playing roulette.

You should be able to get a reasonably consistent mph regardless of launch, if you don't slam second and blow the tires off.

I look forward to seeing what you do. I'm planning on going up weds if the weather is ok.

LR axles with locking axle flange bolts. Bitch to remove, but they don't come loose. I'll post slips no matter the results. Too bad I have an event tonight.

Open Test & Tune with ADRA Club, R1320

Wish it was that easy. I'd love to come down into some good air. Might try a road trip this summer to Phoenix. I have a good friend that lives there. If I do, I'll let you know ahead of time and we can make sure a track is open and get some of you Az guys to come out.

If you do end up heading up to the track and want some pointers while there about how it's behaving, lmk and I'll get you my number ahead of time.

Let me know. Firebird Raceway is an hour from Tucson, 10 degrees hotter, and your friend may have a better "hook-up" there. I'm married, and don't swing.

Either way, it would be fun to meet.

those are stg 8 bolt locks. Problem I'd have with those is breaking an axle and having to change it out. It'd take too long
