Any advice.... Im trying to hook up better out of the hole. Im spinning for easily the first few hundred feet down the track. This is on a stock suspension. im currently running a 10.2 at 136mph, I have a ton of Et stuck in my 1/8 mile time. Any advice?? I was told to take some weight off the clutch weights... would this bee a good start?
 

what are your 60fts.If your spiining for a few hundered ft it's a supesion issue.Without seeing pics can't really tell how your skid is set up
 
My best 60' is 1.7... but i dont break loose until the boost kicks in real hard... realistically i dont break loose until after the 60' I could link you a movie of me racing at the track. you can see and hear the sled breaking loose.

on facebook if you have one... my name is Andrew Harris. or search my e-mail at yamaharacer59@hotmail.com
 
a bad 60 ft time with the stock skid would be high 1.4's. Typically if you can shave off a 10th in 60ft it's worth 2 10ths on the big end.You might not notice but you are spiining if your running a 1.7.
I requested you as a friend on facebook.
 
I'm out of town right not so can't view vids on my phone just pics and the basics.I'll have to wait to see it on the computer.
 
Well I got to the track today.. I ran a 9.9 at 136 I strapped the suspension down so there was not so much travel and that seemed to help. Unfortunately I got to the track and realized I forgot all my clutching equipment. The good news is every time I have gone my times have dropped atleast 3 tenths of a second. any ideas on what my clutching should be?
 
Get your front and rear suspensions tied down even further! Put a set of SRX or SX shocks in the front suspension and get it so it is only 2" or a little higher off the ground. Take some chain or rubber straps and start strapping down the rear!
 
Wow I just watched the vid that thing is full ride height.Do as Allen said slam that thing.
You can drop the air out of the floats and strap the back.
 
I have taken the air out of them before and I didn't have enough ski pressure. I got really wiggly on the top end and stopping so I pumped them back up.
 
Let the air out of your fox floats and then take a piece of nylon strap and strap them going from the top bolt to the bottom bolt so they can not "lift" as you go down the track.
