Anybody at the track can verify what I'm.saying. This thing goes higher in second gear than the actual launch. We run a stick car so different from setups talked about on here. Last time out in SS/H we ran career best of 9.65@135 with a 1.43 60'
Ed , my car IS a stick car also........2.98 low , 5.67 Rr. Grs....... McLeod plate , aluminum wheel.
You cant be happy with 1.40s 60s

Oh yeah , almost forgot.I have Chassis Works "floaters' on mine too.............with mono leafs. The car was built in early 90s.
