  • I think my Weld RTS fronts with tire gotta weigh like 10lbs.

      I am jealous of those Welds!
      I would love a 15/17 setup of the black ones!

        • Your getting close! Some drag wheels would do it. What's the car running?

          • Looks like you have the suspension working good. Leaves nice and smooth without a ton of squat.

            • It was running 12.30s yesterday @ 109. 1.64 60's.

              I lost MPH but gained a bit in the 60' with the gear and suspension work. I added a bit of weight though.
              I feel like the tune has more in it.
              I want to get it on a dyno or get an in person tune rather than a mail order tune.

              That being said Steve does a great job with mail order tunes!

              • But it does look like I did an okay job setting it up for a first try.
                I like how smooth it feels launching.

                • 12.30s my ass. That video is 20 seconds long. Obviously a 20 second run =P

                  • You got me!

                    Last year it ran the same times with 1 more mph and a .05 slower 60'.

                    I guess I have changed a lot since.

                    I forgot I had Steve to tune out the TC lock-up at WOT, so maybe that's where my MPH went.
                    The car feels a lot better launching though and is much easier to control.

                    • Why did you have the lock up tuned out?
                      As far as my understanding the lock up basically makes it act like a clutch as a solid connection with no "slippage".

                      • Yank suggested against having it lock-up, it may have actually made my car faster by having it do it though.

                          • Locking a single disc converter @ WOT is just a bad idea. Triple disc converters can be locked without issue so they say.

                            • It makes sense, one clutch holding that much power being as small as it is seems dangerous.
