New slicks

Only thing we changed over the winter, besides adding an air shifter.

Wheels off the ground look neat, but doesn't help your E.T. What tire pressures are you using? Traction bars are ???

11.5 psi, gonna go to 12 and loosen up the shocks. 4 link.

And to be clear, I am NOT driving.

I must be missing something. Why would anyone put bald tires on their car, then try to drive it at 100+mph? Every time I've been caught with tires having less than 2/32" of tread I was given a warning to get them replaced.

I have read that taking air out of the slicks will take out some bite for bias tires anyway. Back half 4 link maybe a bar change, shock adjustment? If it's consistent, and your having fun keep it. Nice car by the way

Yes, rear 4 link. If you blow the pic up, you can see how much the tires are wadded up, indicator of them playing the shock's part. Hence the aforementioned adjustments coming. Only got to make 2 good passes, within .002 and 1 mph before realizing a rev limiter problem.

Tighten up the shock extension, or take air out. The air out would put less pressure to the center of the tire, and soften the hit, just something else to try. Very good repeating, hitting the tires that hard you are making power. Combo, and times, 60s?
