I know that you are a fan of 3:31 gears, so I wanted tell you about my last trip to the drag strip. I had a new best 60' and 1/4 mile time using my 3:31 ratio. Friday night the car went 11.57 with a 1.59, 60'. Car had gone a 1.68, 60'. Only changes made was a switch from hotchkis front springs to moroso trick springs and running more air pressure in my rear drag radials (thanks Bob West). On my last run of the night, it felt like it also pulled the wheels. I think I am done with suspension mods for now. I am pleased with the way it is working. When I put my street tires back on and the front sway-bar, it still handled the corners great. Trey

Super impressive.Wicked 60". Didn't think that a 3:31 would do that. Learning every day.

Trey, I know it's almost 500 inches, but I don't care! Thats strong man. You have got to proud of those #s. And 3.31s?? I think maybe I need to back my 4.10 down a notch. 1.59 60ft? What have you done to your rear suspension? Thanks.
