We change coil overs so we have a heavier spring in the rear for street driving. We also change tires.

After Larry and Jeff the average was above 8.5 and 4th was a 9.8.
Likewise with my uncaged car in BB street race. 4th place was the first one over the 11.5 mark.Last edited by TheSilverBuick; May 18, 2013, 10:06 AM.

Motor had excellent high quality machining and was not thrown together, just some parts well bought.
Check out Doc Fox red lighting us starting at the 5:00min mark in this clip;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8EdrACyNAQ
That was with claped out rear shocks and no anti-roll bar in the rear.

Same thing with the 598 we now have, just have never made by day 2 without killing a roller lifter or worse.
Change your oil every day before you run.

I didn't do much. At track: Change tires, remove air filter, unhook vacuum advance, pull evacs and put in regular vc breathers, head to the lanes.
