Discussion of Chassis Setup for 8 Sec. Assault

The IC is already further forward than most would consider appropriate. Which direction are you suggesting to move it?

OMG! Donnie, move it back some and get better traction. It needs to be under your butt to hook up and get better tracion overall.
 
I'm starting to wonder if a 1.28 60' isn't enough to be pushing a 3200+ car to.
The extra stress that will be put on components trying to push the car to a better 60'. Looking to plant the tires harder will certainly increase loading of the drivetrain. I am looking for good numbers for the car, but I am always thinking about durability too.

This last time out with the car, I've found a tuneup and wheelie bar adjustment, at my home track anyway, that is carrying the tires a respectable distance and giving me 1.28-1.31 60 foots. I think I may call it on the launch and start working more on the carry out and 1-2 shift transition.
The last two passes of the latest test session were both a 5.67 et. I had to de-tune quite a bit from the tuneup I used just a week ago for the Phoenix 1/4 mile event, dropping boost control pressures over 3 psi in some points, but still being able to match the 660' times. Interesting.
 
Interesting. I just checked the last two time slips from the last tuning session. Here they are.

60' 1.311
330' 3.691
mph 95.497
660' 5.678
mph 124.361

60' 1.303
330' 3.688
mph 95.696
660' 5.676
mph 124.361

Dang. Too bad I wasn't able to get in a bracket that day.
