stony Posted July 28, 2002 Share Posted July 28, 2002 well went to the track today adn ran the Z with teh BFGs and new drag lites. the car pulled real strong all the way down teh track. I did not improve my best et but did increase top speed to 123MPH. It has been raining all weekend here and was just starting to clear up when they opened the track for test and tune. I was launching at around 3500rpm and spining all teh way thru 2nd gear ., past the 6o foot mark. i started lowering air pressure in the tires slowly and got faster and faster all day but still had lots of wheel spin. with the pressure at 18 psi and still having lots of spinning i decided to go down to 15 psi and do a good burn out. well this fixed my traction problem. i launched at 3500 rpm and BAMMMMMMMMM granaded a U-joint I really feel this run was gonna be my 10 sec run because for a split sec it snapped my head back more then what i was expecting. but oh well ... i know where to start next time i go. ANY suggestions on joints. or would it be better to go to CVs? IM gonna search the history for info on ujoints l8rz stony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
