great vid,what sort of time do drag tyres knock of the 60ft times. ive done a best of 1.96 on street tyre and road/track suspension set up , is it worth softening the rear shocks off even with stiffish springs ?

Well the ET Streets are still street legal as they have grooves but you wouldnt want to drive around the roads too long on them lol

Well it depends on you suspension setup, springs rates etc etc but ET Streets are good enough to knock up to 0.5 of a second off the 60ft

Uhm.......At a rough calculation, 250% rear wheel slip (must get out more). Interesting vid by the way :D

Awesome time and 60ft, same 60ft\'s as RCM achieve in their Gobstopper!
 
So that is definitely something to be well chuffed with.
 
Any more room for improvement on the Launch?
 
A 1.3x really would be amazing...
 
Also Blitz, are you running a Standard gearbox or aftermarket setup?

Hey you got any links to the Gobstopper?
Stock gearbox, gonna see if I can keep it together for a 9 second run next year lol :rollin

Yes It is possible to get a 1.3 with my setup a little bit more power and when it gets more warmer an even stickier track

There\'s some cool vid\'s in their as well.
 
Lol, at least the standard gearbox is cheap to replace, might as well keep a few spares for next year!. :burnout
