Hmm. Not sure if you have any other suspension mods other then whats in your signature. But I had a hard time getting to 1.7 or even low 1.8 60's until I upgrade the rear springs, GM tubular trailing arms and some spring blockers. Those mods for me made all the difference in launching.

GTO spring blockers would not fit. We were trying to get 11s with setup it had.
All that was changed since the last time out was a racetronix fuel pump with rewire and a better air filter and our race pipe. Mike did change plugs at the track to 103s at 040 from tr6s at 055
Next time it will have the cable mod, skinnies and maybe more weight reduction. The car still needs more weight reduction and dyno tune or a progressive controller for mid 11s.
tubular trailing arms will help a little but that is a little further down the line of things to get.

Yeah I could not get the GTO spring blockers to fit either. So I just went to autozone and but some adjustable ones and it only cost me $15 for two pairs. And I have to say for the price those worked out awsome. And probably best bang for the buck with regards to weight transfer.

as great as they are the cable mod is the only real option besides wheelie bars if you dont want any squating.

I currently run the wbodystore heighting springs. Even with car jacked up ther is no room for the GTO blockers.

LOL Fish. Maybe you could shove your little dick in there and help it out :lolsign:
He is running my old Hoosier Slicks. They had half a season on them when he bought them. They should stick just fine.

He has B&G springs and the car is quite low. It wasnt because lack of trying. they do fit on the GMPP springs. our silver car has a set. b&g spacing is quite a bit smaller. Cable mod is a better idea then breaking a GTO blocker to get it to fit and will help more with launching. Mikes car doesnt have that much squat to begin with for the most part.
i definitely need some suspension upgrades for sure, but i'm 100% confident i can cut a 1.7 60' on a prepped track. Honestly cordova sucked, the track prep was non-existent. Since byron is pretty much all that's open now and has pretty decent track prep i might try one more time this year to grab those 11's. This time with a fully heated bottle that has a working gauge! I feel bad for my tranny haha, poor thing only has like 3,500 miles on it and it's seen hell already.

you do too!!
you do too!!
I may join you guys as well on the 2nd as well, im going to hopefully have everything done so i can hit mid 13's (or lower hopefully) and ive wanted to hit the track one more time now that ive got all my suspension done and hopefully can get some better launches....
what do you guys think, should i run potenza 009's that day (stock 16" rims) or should i run my potenza SO-3 pole positions (on my 18" rims) for that day? Keep in mind yea there 18's but they do weigh over all less .....

man i don't know, neither tire is really gonna be better but i've seen s2000's run 2.0 60's with the so3's..? Hopefully it's really cold so we can all get some decent times! We might get lucky and the byron crew might prep the track very well to compensate for the colder weather, but who knows. It's definitely going to be tricky for the street tire guys.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (12.99someday @ Oct 20 2008, 09:01 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div>
ggrrrreeeaaatttttttt.....guess ill use the SO-3 pole positions for the day and then call it quits for the rims for the season........maybe my last run i do some excessive "warming up" while some people snap pics (if ya know what i mean)....
