friday I went to pittsburgh raceway park for there sportcompact race.

60'....1.769....1.758....1.911....1.936

1/8...6.980....6.889....7.165....7.219

mph..108.29..109.11...108.08...108.23

1/4...10.58...10.47.....10.77.....10.82

mph..136.77..137.11...136.26...136.40

now I lost my 60' and the last two runs I got tire shake on top end :confused2: next weekend is the Chrysler Classic and I got to get this figured out.

what gives, did someone put a evil hex on me :confused:

2.4L 16v. The fabrication on the car is a work of art.

I did away with the progressive nitrous controller. something was causing it to shut down. not shure why. that was a waste of time and money :mad:

So how does it feel once the squeeze comes on? Is it all too sudden or are you waiting until 2nd gear?

Sounds like the evil "tire shake" curse is coming after you. :p Buahaha!!

BTW are you running tubes or no tubes in your slicks?

based on your pic i was thinking using a paper cup to seal up your CAI gave you 10 mph?!?!?! wtf heh.

apparently rob is not one to brag, considering how few posts he makes about his 10 second show car and his srt-4 caravan and all the others.

All I can think of is maybe the tires have gone off, are they old?

Rob,

Way to go. Thats a huge difference. Be sure to check your manifold welds:thumb:

Of course we here in Ohio always want to save our best to drill anything Pittsburg during the NFL season.:eyebrows:

I took the coil out of back of the truck and threw it as far as i could and the car ran better.
I qualified 3rd and stayed there. I did not have the luck of Reeves. #1 was a 9.30 AWD dsm #2 was a 9.90 conquest.
oh and the wife said she is going to kick your --- and take your watermelon next time she see you.

I saw in the Radio Shack that there is a range extender now available for $39.95 + shiipping.
