Time for the 10s.

I was thinking about height and thinking that I should drop the front as low as I can but then I thought about it again and realized that it might be better to lower the rear to get more on the wheels early. Anyone done this or disagree. I don't want to add weight if I can get the same effect messing with the heights.

You think it is that easy DEpointfiveO? If it is then I'm going for the 9s.

I'll have to look at the BC ER setting options and see what I can do. I'll post some thoughts and get everyone's thoughts.

At the same time, (in my mind) the goal for boosted cars should be to get the F out of 1st gear too (unless you're on drag radials, even then it might be tricky) or go to the auto pumpkin/gear ratio

But I am willing to add bits that allow for more customization even if that customization is purely for the strip.

I have SPC rear camber arms but need to have the extended range dremel thing done. I didn't do that when I put them in and can't remove any more camber.

I had planned on picking up a cheap as hell set of wheels...super wide rear narrow front and putting DRs on the rears. I can't see anyway around this the car needs wide for the track. ...need to get one of those tire trailers.

Good point about the diff. Let's see what I can do without it.

I highly doubt making the gear ratios more aggressive will help unless you can fit 15" wide slicks

And the spares are rated for 55mph for 50 miles. I know many who have gone 100+ and over 500 miles on spares.

Then again, I bet it would be easy to fit some slightly better tires on the spare wheels that can support a faster speed.
