new best at GLD!!!
YEA! i went from a 14.5 i think it was, at 101 with a 2.45 60'... my new best now...
14.26 @ 101.11 with a 2.36 60'. the car was running hard and well, and VERY consistent just like last time but i couldnt launch the pig to save my ***. I would either bog it by not giving it enough gas or spin the nittos. dumping it and then jerking it a bit, bogging down a slight bit and tromping it seemed to work best, i think thats what netted me the best time, just kinda in the middle but its so hard to launch these cars. BTW this was my best of 7 runs, so i need to decide what i wanna do about tires for next time and a rear end....hmmmm any thoughts or ideas.

yea Chad that sucks, you were working away in there.lol. ill go again soon
Matt, sorry but i was kinda pissed at myself tonight for not launching better and was really pissed off bad, so **** you.lol. honestly tho, unless you've done it, nobody knows what its like to run at the track, run after run after run, trying to do everything properly. i was running against myself only and my goal was to get into 13's which i didnt do, so im pissed about that, but i know the car has the ***** to go 13.5's if i could hook well.
i have nittos which will be fine if i warm them up, get them sticky and lauch hard but i dont wanna break the 7.5" and i dont get a 12 bolt because im not a rich ****, so theres your answer. i doubt anyone on the entire site could race the car fast and keep that rearend intact. BTW i romped the **** out of a nice sounding LS1 and also was running at the same rate as a Nova that was doing 13.0's but with 1.9 60's. after the launch tho, he was slightly ahead of me and we both stayed in the same spots, no one pulling on the other at all. one other thing, there was an old Pontiac running 13.99 at 95 mph doing 2.0 60's, so if that doesnt tell you the car is fast, go die cause its obvious the launch is just killing me.
done ranting.
thanks for positive feedback. anyone got any good advice?

Chad, it cost 40 bucks for me to race and my dad to get into the pits, so im thinking 25 to race and 15 to watch but idk for sure what it is.
i gotta figure out this damn launch tho. im pissed, the damn car can hang with LS1s and all this other BS but it doesnt even run 13's. my damn stock 93 Z was faster than this POS. i ran a 14.1 with that.haha

but hey, **** happens. You have plenty of time to go back to the track, so I dont think you should be all so pissed about it.
