well, fourth is about 100 so he must have barely broke 14s. I trapped about 103-105 .......which is about right for the gearing in 4th out to 5th...idk. Good runs shiney, you need more power or more revs though. Have you had it tuned ? it honestly makes a world of difference.

I think the back is lower because the picture was taken right at launch or when he was preloading. could be wrong though. good runs shiney. were you spinning all through first?

If my calculations are correct, I should run 12's with slicks. With a possibilty of being able to do it without nitrous since I'm sheading 300 lbs off the car. Only time will tell...

On top of that, I'm not building a drag car. I'm looking to build a track car. Hopefully we can all learn a few more things about our cars potential from this project.
