    We will agree to disagree. Your 60ft directly affects your ET. A tenth quicker 60ft is usually 2 tenths quicker on the big end. But you both should know that. Good luck in your trials.

    I see what you both are saying. Definitely! I hope I'm right, I just don't think I will have a problem at the line, especially since I don't have that issue on the street. I know the track and the street is totally different, but I'll see. I may let the rears down to 28 psi or so and see how it does going down the track. If no issue, may go a little lower, not much more than that. I also may leave the 18" spare in the trunk and take out my 100 lbs. speaker box though

    Not much at low rpm's when your max boost is 10 psi. I don't think either of you guys has ever had that low of boost lol.

    That chapter was missing from the book. I knew something wasn't quite right.

    Tonight is the night. Suggestions. Should I leave the 100 lb speaker box in the trunk or take it out? I'm thinking the weight can help with traction, and hurt my ET due to extra weight.

    Also, should I turn off the air ride? Any help from this?

    I would leave it in. Will most likely help more than it will hurt you. Unless you're putting good tires on, then take it out.
    What would the air ride being off do? To set lower in the rear once it bleeds down?
    Should be a very good weather night! Temps are going to drop like a rock tonight.
