If it needs an alignment that badly i'd say closer to 9's with an alignment and maybe some other suspension tweaks...what's your suspension setup?

PIC Performance Drag Coilovers, 12k front, 16k rear
Kinigpin Machine Front lower solid bushing arms
K-Tuned traction bars w/ rear stabilizer bars

Basic stuff...just really havent found the time to get to an alignment rack and really get it set to where I want it.

Should be able to cut a 1.48 60' the way it sits...there is always another 10th somewhere.

It looks like the bumper was catching a lot of wind or the tires were getting skinning the faster you went.

It was definitely eye opening to watch the bumper do that during the run.

May try some aero ideas in the future based on what that showed.

Nice times Chris! The Ef looks great. I think it was asked earlier but what's the weight and power level at? I'm just comparing it to my turbo car at same mph but you are .8 faster.

I know that all motor is a dif game all together but there's a lot to learn from the way you guys setup your cars. Low 1.5 60ft's in a EF is no joke. Can you give any pointers or things that helped you drop that 60? Thanks!

His mph will be even higher once they get the gearing figured out.

Most of the ET difference between you and him is in the 60ft.

I'm just curious to know how much power and how heavy is the car because I'm planning to run 10.50 index next year

Did you guys just recently change to the 4-speed?
Reason I ask about gearing, because it wasn't too long ago I watched a video of the car running mid 10's winding out 5th gear. Granted, rev limit change, final drive etc, could have been the change.

Congrats Chris, If anyone deserves it, it's you. Figured you'd ditch that chasis before trying to go that quick.........glad you didn't! Respect as always.
