Traction

The 60ft times are not so good. They usually are in the 2.1-2.0 range. I take off from an idle because if I rev and launch I just compound the problem and I don't want to hit the wall. I'd like to get the adjustable upper control arms if you guys think it is worth it.
I hope that maybe the bigger slick or ET street will help also. So the 27 x 10.5 ET tire will fit? I want to buy tires once and get the right rim size and back spacing right.

Get 26X10.5X15or16 wich ever you have and your 60ft will fall like a rock.

With 3.73 gears I wouldnt run slicks any larger than a 26. I still have plenty of rpm left at the end of the track with 3.73's and 26's shifting at 6200 rpms.

Are you running BFG street tires or drag radials? The BFG DR's hook real good my brother runs them. They hook so good he snapped a half shaft last weekend.
