Yeah your 60s definately could use some work. Im assuming your 1.75 was with alot of wheel spin? What kind of tires do you run...streets? Drag radials? Sept brings some nice cool dense air with it...we all know what that means

Whats the track altitude?

Yes, as soon as I hit boost the tires blew away. I was running 26x11.5x15 Hoosier Quick Time Pro's. The track altitude was sea level, Ontario has no hills/mountains worth mentioning. LOL

Bringing back the thread: I think Vics have whopping durability, especially the discontinued Cruising which blew away Meg's #16 through the winter on my car.

Yes, I've heard that the old Cruising was quite the product...wish I could get my hands on some of it though

With that mph you have wheel spin. That is a mid-11 mph, what are you using for suspension and gear. I had a 88GT that ran mid-8"s on a 10 inch tire, if I did another car it would have to be a notchback. When you rent the track you will have time to play with shock/strut settings, air pressure and try leaving at different rpm's without having to wait for everyone else. Good luck at your track day and let us know what the outcome is.

You did have your hands on it. One of the samples I sent you was revived crusing wax. We were going to have Victorai make it for us under our label.

The car has Lakewood 70/30's up front, 50/50's in back. Maximum Motorsports Solid Drag Lower arms, Steeda heavy duty uppers. It does have 4.30 gear which is not helping. A few changes I think I am going to make,

go from the 4.30's to a 4.10
go from the 26" tire to a 27"
bring boost from 7-8PSI to 10-12
