They make inserts you can use if you dont want to use footballs that you just put in your rear springs to prevent the car from squating as much when taking off

Very nice!!! 11's is def doable with just a lil more work! That was pill tune without logging and maximizing it. Could also bump up the octane and get a lil more out of it if we need to

Traction goes up - trap goes down, totally normal. I was pulling 12.9's in my RS Coupe with a 106-107 trap at best.

jesus christ....it's not rocket science....

buy smaller youth footballs, deflate them, squish them inside your rear springs, re-inflate them.

If you want to do it more professional, buy drag bags...

look on jegs for drag bags.

last year I was trapping in third. With the new tires I have been going through in forth so far, wasn't sure if I could make it all the way on third. Looking at the logs I think I can go through in third at abit 6800-6900 on these tires. I shift just over 6000 right now, and the redline is 7000 in first and 6800 in the rest. I am going to shoot for a 1.65 60 and NLS second and I will be in the 11's for sure. If not I will raise the limiter and get it in third. I dropped two tenths in the quarter last year just by leaving it in third.
