My 60' was a 1.84 on the 13.300 @ 102.49 run. I didn't know how worn out the slicks were while I was using them. With a helmet on and the windows up I can't hear much of anything. On top of that I'm usually paired up with a 9 second open exhaust beast that makes it impossible to hear my car at all. But on the video you can clearly hear them spinning on the launch and into 2nd gear. PSI was at 14 in the slicks, 40 in the front. Timing was locked out at 38º. Fuel was set at 41psi w/vacuum line off. I started out at 36º, but got more MPH at 38º and ran out of time that day for any more testing. I even tried lower fuel pressure, but lost MPH immediately. Again, I didn't get to try any higher on fuel either.

The season before I was able to nail a 1.76 60', but that was on the totally stock suspension with a little more tread on the slicks. On that run, I missed -cough- 4th -cough- gear. LOL Ended up with a 13.42.

So, what do you think? New suspension, slicks, and the new parts: better than a 13.3 next time? Thanks for the replies so far!
