So even with the BFG drag radials and 100/125 shots of nitrous, were you still running stock half axles/hubs?

What tires were you using on your prior 14.9 NA runs? And at what RPMs were you trying to launch on those NA runs?

Mid 13s on a 2.5L?
That's an example of how laughing gas can make you giddy.

Congrats.

And keep us posted on your attempts to lower your 60' time.

Yes, stock axles and hubs. When i ran that 14.9 i had the drag radials also. And then i had a 2.0 60 foot so i know i can shave some time off of the 13.4 run cause the 60ft. on all three of those runs was a 2.1. I launched at about 3500, and just slipped out the clutch a little...no wheel hop at all. Except for when i hit second it would hop once or twice as the tires were grabbing.

PS...i might be giving myself bad luck and it might explode next time out...but i must say...this SPEC stage III is holding AWESOME! No slippage at all!

Oh...and my mods...let's see. intake, SVT TB, SVT UIM/LIM, weapon-r headers, trubendz y-pipe, true borla catback, torsen, Spec III, koni/GC's, and the tires.
