My new suspension worked! .4 off 1/8 mile time!
I went to evergreen speedway in Monroe, Washington tonight (last night) and just got home. I'm so psyched i just beat the 9.05 1/8 mile time (which was en route to a 13.991 run) with a 8.657 run tonight, i actually got somewhat decent traction with NO WHEELHOP (ongoing problem since i've had the car, finally fixed). This was with 225 street tires, rain on the track, engine at full operating temperature from coming off the freeway and no VHT to boot! I only got 2 runs in because the light rain turned heavy and my other run i spun all 3 gears across the 1/8th to a fishtailing 9.219. Man am i happy i spent the money to buy the proper suspension. 1st gear is actually usable now
 I just thought i'd toot my own horn, i finally got a decent ET! YAY! I'm also going on sunday to a 1/4 mile track to see what the 1/4 time is.Unfortunately the MPH sensors weren't working so i didn't get a mph reading, but i'll live with just the ET for now.
