So I did some runs at PIR last night. All of them were a constant 14.4 and change. I normaly can pull off a 14.1 atleast once every night, but not last night

My only real performance mod is my Hahn CoolRam Intake. I've tried dropping my tire pressure to 22psi once and felt nothing significant. I'm running on Westlakes (street tires). I have Limited Slip. I take just about everything out of my trunk when i run.
For my launch I've been sticking to launch control at about 3,000 (sometimes 2,500 others 3,500. 3,500 creates wheel hop) and if I'm feeling ballsy I NLS from 1-2 2-3 and 3-4...other wise its just 2-3 and 3-4.

I'm wondering if ya'll suggest I try that football mod, and if so what size are the footballs?

 

Pee-wee

 

Thank you much. Get those at like freddys or something like that?

 

Got mine at walmart

Silver and black

 

i wouldnt NLS from 1-2

 

does the football mod make a huge difference? is it safe to drive like an hour or so away to a track and back with em in?

 

in for some results, i also think they have to be leather too

 

Mine aren't leather they are just some synthetic material

I have driven around all over with mine but its quite stiff

You are better off to air them down and then refill them at the track

I havent tried putting mine back in since i put the Pedders on the car

 

It would be safe, normal driving. Just don't always keep them aired, it messed a pair of mine up.

 

just get a wheelie bar

 

why? this works just as well, is cheaper and easy to install

 

lmao how stupid would a stock cobalt ss look with wheelie bar lmao

 

its a dragstrip not a carshow

 

I was running a bit late to the track and had people waiting on me...so I kinda half-assed it. The footballs weren't majorly pumped up and the tips weren't perfectly on the top and bottom by the lil nub things. Driving to the track and home...totally felt more stiff.
Normally when it's 75 degrees and the track has ok prep but not superb, I stick around the 14.4s...last night i ran mostly 14.2s. The things I noticed different were when I went to do a burn, i got hop, never got that before. On my actual launch though...I didn't. All I got was the serious lack of power when got going but that's cause I'm still working on my launch and my 1-2
Will i take the time to put the footballs in place and run them again...yes
Would I recommend the football mod to draggers...yes, I mean c'mon, it is a dirt cheap mod and doesn't take a lot of work to install.
FYI: I was using leather pee wees that i got at Walmart for $9/each.

 

what do footballs run price wise anyways lol? also if u arnt using them sell them to me lol

 

go to wallmart and buy them... a lot faster that way

 

well be4 i do that, do they actually shave some time off?

 

I wouldnt cram footballs in my springs for F all

Have to ask Cmiller what he shaved off i can't remember

 

As far as shave off, I was able to run a 2.0 60' time consistantly on the stock street tires. Yes I did pull a 2.0 without using them, but not time after time like with them.

 

Pretty sure they helped me although I only managed a 2.24 60'. Rather than trying to immediately perfect "feathering" clutch/tires I brought the idle up slightly as the tree came down then put it to the floor; 1-2 @ approx 5500(higher and it occaisionally balks), 2-3/3-4 nls @ 6200. Second run launched @ 2500 or so and spun to a 13.7. Tires @ 26 psi.
