I never had any idea the M/T would cause me to lose that much in mph and a little in ET's :mad :mad :mad Only compensation is that M/T's hook very consistantly.

The M/T weigh 12 lbs less than the 17X11 drag radials X2=24 lbs.

Thanks for all your help!!!!!!!
Yup I knew the ET's were lighter, but what do you care about ET or MPH if your gonna Bracket Race... if you were running Heads Up.. then I'd agree..

When I had the 3000 converter I'd run low 12's but not consistantly on DRs so I went to a 2600 converter I slowed down to 12.7's but it is very consistant!

I like heads up with people in my category and brackets with the WCCC maybe 4 times a year.

:cheers:
Good deal Al!
I can bracket the 97' running on a 11.05 right now on the drs all day long with a 1.52-1.55 60's...now if the driver could be consistant on the tree!
Lucky now adays if I go to the track 4 times a year......thats why I like these shoot-outs & CF Cruise Ins........I can get in 25 passes easy each day:yesnod:
Now the quest......get the 97' to a 10.0 NA and the 00' into the 10's NA on the stock block :D
Keep it straight :thumbs:
