Default Team Bahrain/Drag Cartel all motor breaking into 9.5s and 140mph

last week "May 2014" was the last 2 rounds in 2013/2014 season, we were able to break our own records day after day, ending with a small surprise which we going to keep for next season..

answers for the questions which i think i may get.... tires are 26" and weight is about 1900lb, and still running full OEM chassis with full dash.

we had blox for the past few years and was good to run up to 9.6s with 24.5 tires.. we faced issues when we started putting the 26s, after swapping to Strange it improved a lot..
so we will be looking after the suspension mostly in the coming season, and since we ran 1.3's by just throwing new coilovers without any adjustment, i'm sure we can improve that and not having wheeli bars

Strange Engineering has hypercoil srpings available for their coilovers. That is what people are using.. Depending on the weight of the car is what springs you get, that is suggested on their site as well, they also say for the front Coilovers to use their 10 inch spring.

I think the heaviest spring rate they have is 550 and goes down to like 100.
