I went to the test and tune session today with Mike and Dustin. There were 30-35 MPH winds today so they only let us run an 1/8 mile. I made 2 passes and got a 1.57 and a 1.59 60'. My best 1/8 mile run was 7.42 which converted to 1/4 ET would be about an 11.66 run. This was on the 100 shot. Mike watched my 2nd pass and said I got an inch to an inch and a half of daylight under my left front wheel. I guess i better buy the BMR anti-roll bar soon.

Sweet!! BTW... that 7.42 might be closer to an 11.50, than an 11.66. :worship:

I set a goal for myself this year to run at least an 11.6
I've only got 2 weeks of racing left. I should be able to meet my goal if the weather is on my side.

George,

Can you notice a different in ride quality? Any additional noise?

Thanks, Will

I can adjust the shocks for a softer ride on the street and stiffer for the track.
As for the noise I can't hear them at all. The Hooker headers and the Flowmaster mufflers are loud.

awesome George! You'll leave straight as an arrow with that anti-roll bar! I unhook it for driving around though-very noisy
Powerhouse411.com has made up a bracket to relocate the swaybar mount like we've discussed before. They don't have pics on their website, but if you call, I'm sure he could shoot you over a set.

Can anyone give me an accurate estimate of what LCA's do to your 60' times? I know they remove wheel hop and I was wondering how much they affect your 60' times. I want to hit 12's and I need to get my 60' down a tenth or two.

With just the M/T ET streets and QA1 rear shocks my 60's were 1.68-1.70 normally. Adding the LCA's dropped my 60' about a tenth. You probably won't see any gain with street tires and stock shocks with the LCA's.

The thing is how much does he charge for one picture? I'm pretty familar with event photograhy... on average it's usually about $25 for a 8.5 x 11 sheet. Cost me a $1.00 to print... while you won't get rich, i'm sure he's making some $$$ if he's any good... LOL

Don't want to sound stupid but, why adjustable LCA, why would they need to be adjusted? I'm thinking about getting BMR's and I was wondering what the difference is between adjustable and non-adjustable.
