28ish see what happens ----if it improves maybe down a 1/2 pound at a time until its consistent---otherwise go up a 1/2 pound from 28 keep playing with it---just do maybe 330 foot or less launches til ya get it right--- all yer concerned with is the launch no point running it a 1/8 or more

the reason I say 28 is going down a 1/2 or pound ya wont really know or notice if ya did the right thing---go down an extreme amount like the 28 ish see if it likes it---if it does then go up a 1/2 or down a 1/2 see waht happens---ya can always go back to the 33 setting---way too much front tire wobble when it sets down need to correct that scuffing off a lot of time there--rims do look narrow for the tire maybe try a narrower tire on those same rims ---borrow a set to try-might try to up the rear tire pressure a bit see if it likes it---see ya have license plates on it is this a street car too??? might have something to do with the suspension----lotsa things going on there---front wobble/tire spin/wrong size tire-rim combo hafta sort one thing at a time out---if you want consistency 10.50 or whatever keep doing whatever yer doing if it runs the number dont change it---if ya wanna improve yer performance and go quicker ya need to change some things---if it runs 10.50 all day and the 60 changes from 1.30 to 1.45 as long as yer in front and go 10.50 who cares---

I'll try fixing the front wobble. I just found a bumpsteer kit for it. yes its a street car with stock front suspension. Its just a pump gas small block. Best so far is a 9.92 at over 134.

Make sure you're just barely rolling into the stage beam. You may be deeper than you think. It's sometimes hard to tell from inside the car just how far you're in. A helper on the line can give you an idea of how far you're rolling in, compared to how far you THINK you're in.
