second half of the video:
YouTube- MIR Track Rental 3/20/09

Setup:
strange adjustables all the way around. Front full loose, rear settings where between 3 and 5 got some advice that the rear was not seperating enough so bumped up to 5 in the rear.
14" 175s up front and stock GT rear springs.
Steeda adjustable upper control arms (at -3*)
HPM megabite jr. lowers

Best on the same pass:
60': 1.497
1/4 ET: 10.92 @ 126

Best MPH of the day was almost 128.

Now there is a ton left in this car with that MPH the ET should be 10.7 ... correct? I had some advice to power shift the car and that might be the solution, but I don't think I am good enough to pull that off right now.

also airbag pressure is 17 lbs in right rear.

anti-roll bar would help.

And powershifting is a must for best ET's

What's the incrementals look like on the 10.92 pass? What's it MPH-ing the eighth?

6.99 @ 99-101 in the 8th

6.99 @ 99-101 in the 8th

I'm interested in seeing the 330' incremental because the 60' is sometimes misleading when trying to diagnose what's going on with a run.

1.49 is a good sixty for that ET you also could use a anti roll bar :goodidea:
