We're up to 75lbs on the nose. We're running a 6000 stall 8" converter, and 5lbs of air in the rear tires. The car will run a 8.62 et, with a 1.18 60ft and a .498 light then run a 8.59 et, with a 1.20 60ft and a .520 light. We added a 42lb battery midchassis, it caused the car to chirp the tires down track. No redlights but took the consistancy away from the car as well.
Whats the best way to keep from pulling the wheels out of the beams. I don't like adding anymore weight up front.
More weight ....
How red is it going ? When a car pulls the tires out of the beam its not general only a little red normally 25-45 red. 100 lbs would be next, chip it down on the hit, loosing the converter up.
and nice to see ya posting
