We took advantage of one of the last cool evenings for a few passes to see what kind of improvements the Brenspeed tune and BPR control arms made. Right off I noticed that the control arms eliminated the wheel hop when heating up the tires. It was hard to get the car to hook up, but easing the car off the line worked best. My best was 13.97 @ 102.3, spinning all through first, and not the improvements we anticipated. Our previous best had been 13.91 @ 103.5, but it was 20 degrees cooler and traction was much better that night.
On his first pass my son almost lost it and had to get completely off the gas or he would have spun the car. He was not alone, traction on street tires was awful last night. Then on his next run, he was lined up against an tricked up Evo, pulled a hole shot that would have made Ronnie Sox or Grumpy Jenkins proud, and jumped the Evo off the line. A quick 13.48 seconds later he beat the Evo despite the Evo running a 13.25. We were thrilled, 13.48 @ 104.3.
This fall after the weather cools off are goal is to get into the 12.s. I'm thinking aluminum drive shaft and drag radials, and another 2.0 60' time just might do it on a cool night.:wink:
