Awesome times and beautiful car. I'm totally stealing the wheel and tire combo. Really nice 60 ft times. Do you have any tips or advice on how you're launching? And do you have any upgrades to the rear?

Shane,
I have a rental coming up on December 12th at Atco. You can attend if you wish. They charge us $200 per car. We usually have fantastic prep. I restrict street tires to the left lane while DRs or slicks can run either lane. (I only run the right lane.
)
LMK if you are interested.
BTW- I hear that Cecil is a great track and is quite fast. I have not yet had the pleasure to run there .

Cecil is a pretty quick track and only about 50mins from my house. I go there mostly because they're a little kinder to the Corvette guys who don't have cages lol.

The car hooks up really well. It actually bogs a little bit. I'm still finding the sweet spot for the perfect launch. As far as tips, I'd suggest following the ranger method or talking to Gary. Both of those guys are much more experienced than I am when it comes to getting the best 60' times out of these cars. Also, my suspension is completely stock except for C5 half shafts axles. Oh and my car is lowered on aftermarket bolts, but that certainly doesn't help my 60' times!

If your 60' times went down, that may have something to do with the MPH going down...
Nice passes! What RPM were you shifting at by the way??

My best times were ALWAYS when I shifted right at redline...You should try it. I'd be shocked if your times didn't improve..

Why not throw the rears in the hatch and drive on the fronts & swap rear wheels at the track?? They WILL fit when positioned properly, along with a jack and some tools. Been there, done that.
I thought that sounded like shorter shift rpm's.

Thanks Fran,

The only mods I have to the stock drivetrain is a McLeod RXT clutch and C5 half shafts.

Thats awsome! You're making just about the same power as my cammed car on 91 lol gotta love e85. I don't know how strict they are out about the rule but I just told the tech guy at my local track my car was 08 because of the new NHRA rule allowing 08+ cars to go down to 10.0 w/o a roll bar, it might still be 135mph though.

Good grief.... please shift the car at 6900rpm next time out. I bet you will be delighted at your car suddenly running 10.3's at 135mph with a 1.5x 60ft. You're making plenty of power!!! If you would like a little guidence PM me when you're going next i'm a hour from cecil and I know a couple things about racing a bolt on C6Z.
