That's a great list but only consideres naturally aspirated runs. Many fast guys use nitrous or turbos/superchargers..

I just came back from a grudge match race event last night. Did pretty decent. there will be videos posted and linked coming soon. I just got this thing running two weeks ago and still havent got it fully tuned but it is performing wonderfully right now. I managed to shave a few thousands off my times and got my 60' down to 1.45's. the DA was crap at that event. In a few days I'll get them up.

well here is some video of the grudge race event I did on friday. my race against a gxr 1000 is at the 3:45 mark. I gave the bike the "HIT" meaning it got to leave first and I chase it down. I gave him too much of a head start and lost by a fender.

The next video is later in the night. I give a 2002 procharged/meth injected Z06 vette a five car spot out and we do it off a flash light. I beat him pretty good that race on the top end. This race is at the 2:30 mark of the video.

If you are wondering what RSD stands for it means REAL STREET DRAGS. its a street racing event designed to get racers off the streets and do it on the track. they can organize what ever kind of races they want and (ahem) maybe a little bit of wagers might happen.

It's fun picking on bikes..they don't figure they have anything to worry about!

Is that all motor?

What track was that?

The track was Great lakes Dragaway, And it was on motor running a full tank of 93 octane shell V-power. I built the motor to run strong N/A but mainly with intentions to use a big shot of NO2. It has forged slugs with H beams and hellfire rings gapped for a 350 shot of spray. It will be getting sprayed as soon as the suspension is sorted out. As you can see in the videos, It transfers funny and bounces alittle after the initial squat.

Getting the bounce out is tough sometimes. Do you have adjustable rear shocks? Is it hitting the snubbers?


Front shocks and springs?

I have a V&b 420 lbs composite spring, with QA1 one way adjustables. we tried few different click settings, those runs were on the softer side about 6 or 8 clicks. The front springs are left overs from the old street and saloam suspension upgrade a four years ago. 550lbs springs. I have lakewood dragshocks 90/10 in the front. Do you think moroso springs up front will help? perhaps more weight in the back? car is 3100 lbs with out me in it and I weigh 280 lbs. so give or take a few its 3400 lbs race weight. I dont think it is squating enough to hit the snubbers.
