New Suspension worked great. New Best

From last visit at the strip I noticed the H&R Supersport Springs were not allowing any weight transfer. I swapped the Struts to Strange 10 way adjustables and put the stock springs in (1 coil cut). On 35 Series Radials I was cutting 1.80's and the Cobra went 12.70@108MPH. This was driving to the track and staging, no changes or bolts turned! Yippie!

They are BF Drag radials but they are an embarrasment to drag Radials! LOL. 35 series on a 17" rim. I didnt get a chance to bolt up the slicks. I sure 12.50's would be easy on slicks. The weight transfer is great now!

So you are running the P315/35 R17 BFGs, you get much spin off the line? What RPM are you dumping at

I was looking at P275/40 R17. Being a low profile tire I am worried about them hooking up so maybe the P315 would be better.

Yes I am running the 315/35/17's They needed a bit of weight transfer to work better but they still hook great. They are starting to hook better and better as they wear down! I am going with the Mickey Thompson Drag Radials for next year, much more tread.
