Terry, I ran this weekend for the first time with the 1.7s...
First pass 15.165 (previous best was 15.010)
Not so good.. but then I read my mph--- 93 mph)
I did spin quite a bit off the line (I removed
my bumper for a roll pan, so weight is a little
different). My previous best mph was 90.95 mph.
And my run was with a 2.4 something 60' (oops!)
Let air out until 18 psi...
2.146 60'.... 14.656 seconds, 93.23 mph...
WOOHOO! A new best... Figure the 1.7s dropped
my ET by .350 seconds or so...and increase mph
by 2.5 mph on average.
