What was your tire pressure setting? Was it 25lbs or 15lbs?

Terry, to get a better idea of how WELL you are doing,
check out your 60' times.. I bet you are having a traction
problem moreso now. My first run with the rockers was a
15.3 (usually ran 15.001 15.050, etc never in the 14s).. I
thought WTF??? Then noticed my MPH was 2 mph higher in the
1/8 th and 1/4 ... Lowered tire pressure, BAM! 14.672...
14.7...14.71...
Try doing a chart on that and posting it.
