Hey everyone. We just went to Fontana for a local California PSCA race and ran a 10.71@124MPH with our pump gas 406 small block on street tires. It was fun! 8)

Did you have to do anything to the suspension to get it to stick?

Little tricks here and there. I built my own traction bars and played with the leaf springs and pinion angle.

Went to Carlsbad today and had some traction problems but, still managed a 10.64@127mph. We wanted to see a 10.50 so bad on pump gas, street tires and without nitrous. Oh well....

I've heard of people makin' a real light fiber glass tonneau cover type thing that starts at the back of the cab like a camper, but slopes down like a bicycle racers helmet, cuts down on all the drag behind the cab and aerodynamics.

I just built an aluminum bed cover a few months ago. Now I don't have to put the tailgate down.
