my new wheels and tires are killing my 60' times- they ARE MUCH heavier than the stockers-
BEAT THE WRX AND LOST BYE .06 TO THE Z and was catching him....... lost to the yellow z due to traction issues as seen on the video
my best that night was
1/8th E.T.- 9.47 @ 74mph
60' 2.448
BEST EVER
1/8th E.T.- 9.37 @ 74mph
60' 2.003

NICE JOB!!! Wow! How does it run in the 1/4 mile?

i dunno we dont have a 1/4 mile track around here gonna go up to bradenton over the summer after a nitrous tune and some more supporting mods- my best- 9.37 equates to around 14.3 to 14.5 in the 1/4 mile
i put my stock wheels/tires back on the only the 2 back's w/ 15psi in the tires and WOW what a difference gets out of there in a hurry now- plus i got my cooling issues all sorted out and now i'll be back out there trying to hit the 8.89 :) :) which i think is very possible with a sub 1.9 60 ft.

Something I have been thinking about that could possibly help you.
Have you ever taken off in a straight line in 4 low on the street, its freaking insane. I have been think about putting in a button to manually engage the front diff.
Being that our transfer cases arnt always engaged, you could engage 4low, get the gear reduction, and not activate the front diff. U will probably need some type of drag radial if you are launching it while boosting.
Just remeber that its very possibly to explode the thing. It does make alot of weird noises when you launch 4low on the street, but if its ment for drag racing every broken part ='s another go fast goody that would then be justified. Just food for thought.

Won't work. You can't shift from low range to high range while under power or moving very fast.

4low is plenty capable of 74 mph. you will be at the end of 4th and at the end of rpm. He is only doing 1/8 mile runs. Thier is no need to shift out of 4low if it will carry you the whole way correct?

Wouldn't even want to think about it... With nitrous, you'd probably smoke the tires before getting any benefit from the lower gear reduction as far as acceleration.
Not to mention a very crucial fact that we both missed. He's 2wd.

oh yeah look at that, only 2wd. well, I am still curiuos as to what would be the result. Anyway, good luck to ya in your quest o2 vortech

Haha. My favourite part was "Sorry for the ****ty footage...Dad was filming"
I was going to say, it's too bad you couldn't get the shot of you coming at the camera instead.
