I only ran it a few times while I lived there but it always seemed to be lacking grip. And the box was horrible, but I think they have since repaved it..

Final got some front skinnies, time to go faster!!!

Just read your thread - appreciate the factual data and back to back testing - very helpful. Amazing you have a streetable car that runs that fast. Kudos.

You'll appreciate the fronts for sure. Less drag down the track on the big end. I originally took off 100 lbs total with the Hoosier slicks/skinnies bias ply and race star wheels. I switched over the winter and added about 40 lbs back on going to M/t drag radials and M/t SR front radials. I'm going back to Hoosier slicks before the Camaro Fest.

No doubt Skinnies did their job 10.17@135.91mph.

Video for more details.

I did the same thing on all corners. Race Star Recluse MT 4” and MTs on back. Saves 100 pounds and put 45 psi in fronts.

Your set up is definately lighter, the recluse wheels must be lighter and the mt et fronts are lighter.

I weighed all side by side on the same scale.

Rear stock wheels/tires 62.5 lbs, race star 17x10.5 with MT 305 Rs 58.5 lbs. Total savings 8lbs

Front stock wheels/tires 56.5lbs, racestar 18x5 with M&H 4.5 / 28-18 37 lbs
Total savings 39lbs.

47lbs savings in total for me.

Also, curious about the JMS Fuel Pump Voltage Booster. Looking forward to your video on that.

Very cool!

Just as you predicted, it made 135mph before reaching the 9s. I think that when you go to a low-altitude track, your short time will probably be 1.4, and you will have a good chance at getting in the 9s.

Thanks guys. Yeah low altitude track with a 1.4 60' should let me make a run at the 9s, thinking the trap speed will need to be close to 138.

I may have missed it, but how much weight did the Whipple add to the car?

Amazing how fast your project has become.

I never actually weighed it. You add the whipple and remove some other stuff so I would guess the net add was around 60lbs.
