I pulled a 1.88 60' on eagle F1's before. The key is first and foremost the track must hook like a 16 year old crack ***** in vegas. I dropped my rear tire pressure to about 19.5psi. (I should have also raised my front tire pressure to 40psi but forgot). With a 4lb lower, diablo flip, intake, and muffler: I brake torqued to about 1100rpm, and when the light went green got on the gas to full throttle almost as fast as I could. Didn't slam on the gas, but fed it in fast to full throttle. There was no tire spin and the truck just stood up. On that run in 85 degree 80% humidity I went 13.1 at 104. Probably have a 12 in it when it is cooler out.

"The key is first and foremost the track must hook like a 16 year old crack ***** in vegas."

uh, what track do you go to??






I agree though-some tracks are like ice ponds. Has anyone here tried Gainesville Raceway? If yes, how does it hook?
