    Default made a trip to commerce last night

    first of all my setup is eg si hatch h2b 235 whp 179 tq. b16 tranny 4.4 fd. oem lsd. 24.5 slicks.
    most of the runs were still in 100 degree weather.
    and i found the suspension setup i have sucks donkey ball for racing.

    best run i could was 13.2

    rt .136
    60' 1.917
    330 5.513
    1/8th 8.493
    mph 83.54
    1000 11.083
    1/4 13.29
    mph 102.12

    it was a shitty night. i could concertrate with 100+degree inside car. and i made rokkie mistakes last 2 runs

    gotta change some things around and run some 12's

    This heat doesn't help, nether does a shitty suspension, but it gives you something to work towards..


    I ran Montgomery last weekend on set of Hancook Ventus c51, and my best ET was 13.4, best MPH of the day was 108, best 60ft was 2.1..

    Last past of the day:

    R/T .186
    60' 2.258
    330 5.953
    1/8 8.839
    MPH 85.61

    1/4 13.425
    MPH 106.73

    Work on the 60ft first.. good shock/springs, traction bars, then alignment.. 24in tire sounds right for the TQ you make, but only will you know once the car will leave out of the hole right.. Never would you've known unless you ran the car, so just like I will take the baby steps to work on getting the car threw the 1/8 first..

    23" will probably end up being the right size. Whats the weight of these things?

    24.5 slicks is fine. U just need to turn ur launch control up. That power is ok for those slicks, nobody runs 23's anymore really. Good suspension, dial ur car in, n let it rip. Ull be fine
