·Went to the dragstrip today after being away for a long long time. Managed to kick off an [email protected] run, with, ironically, a "horrible" 60' time (1.919). All my other runs were higher ET's (and similar MPH's, with a best of 120.86) due to a total inability to get the car to hook (seemed to light up the tires at ~5000RPM in 1st and after the hard shift to 2nd no matter what). Even on that run I was spinning pretty bad, as illustrated by the 1.9 60' (I used to pull 1.6/1.7 60' times before I upgraded the suspension).
Moral of the story - if you want sweet ET's at the dragstrip, stick with the stock suspension.
Mod's are BPU, cam gears, FMIC. Still on the stock MAF, 275/40ZR17 Nitto drag's, and weighing in at ~3600lbs with a full tank of gas (+200lbs for the overweight driver). Peak boost through the entire pass was 1.35kg/cm2 (19.2PSI). Hope to see a stronger MPH when I get a VPC in and actually tune the car...
