I always wanted to try a pro tree.

I'm finding that I have to roll the car into the beams the same distance every time to get reaction times consistent...Seems that the full tree is more forgiving...Things happen fast when heads up on a pro tree...

what about airing down the front right tire some and see what it will do then? your 60ft are really good you just need more power id be happy with 1.6 60fts

ya but I need consistency. Im gonna run 30 psi in front and 25 in rear then ill try a 16psi launch and see if i can still get the mid 1.6 60's if i can then that will help a lot to keep my truck consistent.

But you dont bracket race remember, so why do you want to be so consistent

cause the way i am forced to launch makes me inconsistent. When I stage i launch while my psi is still climbing so it is really hard to launch at the same psi every time. If i could get traction at 16psi it would be much easier cause it holds 16 psi. Launching at 11psi as opposed to 12psi shows a 3 hundredth slower 60' but thats kinda getting too picky ha

what kind of 60ft's are you hoping for at 16psi?

HAHA I wish I could get a 1.70 even, Best 60' is a 1.79 on a 12.54 pass and a 1.88 on a 12.27 pass.Screw BFG Ko's I think I need 4 M&H Dots and be done with it.

Nick try more air in the rear. Have somebody film your launch! I bet with 25lb in the rear your truck is transfering too much weight to the back. I know on my DR's anything less then 35lb, I get too much wt. transfer and it spins the front. You can see it on film pretty good. Watch this video 40 seconds in. I tried 25lb, and the front hopped, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AfiMzvMBgI.
