What does it take to be be competitive in .90 racing?

What does it take to be competitive..Simple answer cut a light and run the number, really that simple It really does not matter if you go 118 or 155 if you can do that you will be competitive.

I am sure that I am doing it wrong. Also I am fairly new to doing this stuff, only this past year trying to actually compete on the divisional level. My junk will run right at 3.0 seconds under all out. I was told it woudl be very hard to dial and we have not found that to eb the case. I am on the stop for a LONG time. Last time out we were at 4.98 and I go on the stop at the release of the trans brake. I need to find a way to kill it a bit more to try and gain some MPH back but for now it seems to work as we run it. I am loosing 15-16+- MPH on the stop from my all out passes. I still go 154-155 on it at 10.90...Last divisional we runner upped, so it seems to be working.

Thanks for all the feedback.
sst7250, if you are running 3.0 under off the stop, why do you not run S/G ?

IMO, biggest dif is the tree, most backhalves have issues hitting the .370 s/g tree. Being fast doesnt make the car hit the tree better but it will def keep the race in front of you where I like it to be. My car also runs 3 seconds better off the stop and I can hit the tree, I just cant handle how S/G is treated in D1.
