Drag Racing Results - In Car Video of Formula on 28 inch Slicks

Took the Formula to I-40 Dragway in Crossville with the 28X10.5X15 S M/T slicks instead of the 26X10X15 S M/T slicks.

The car actually picked up ET and MPH! I have a little more tuning to do on the suspension but I was very pleased!

pretty cool vid man

car moves out! Nice video

what is your suspension set up?

Looks like you went through the traps at only 6000 rpms with the 28's.

what is your suspension set up?

I Have no problem with sharing my efforts!

I have installed poly mild steel tubular Spohn LCA, Drag sway bar, Torque Arm, K-member, Upper and lower A-arms and QA1 R shocks with 275 lb. springs in front only! I made my on travel limiters. I have Comp Engineering shocks and stock springs in rear! I also have airbag in the right spring which I had before I added the Drag sway bar.

I have the front shocks set on full loose. I have the travel limiters set to allow 4 inches of travel on the front at this time! I have the rearend angle set at -2 degrees! ET Drags are set anywhere from 15 to 16.5 lbs. depending on track conditions. I have the rear airbag pumped up to 15 lbs.

I Footbrake to 3,000 RPM's and wait on the last yellow stomp on the gas and go!

Hope this helps!

I would agree somewhere between 5,800 rpms to 6,000 rpms it should allow me to increase the nitrous shot at the 1/4 mile tracks which was my goal!

Sweet vid! Man, I need to get to the track.

Very nice!

Nice pass. I am planning on switching to ET drags next year. My radials are too inconsistent. I am looking at the 28x10.5x15.

I noticed you were on 346CI and that is my goal with my current build im wanting to start very soon. I was curious if you would care to share what your running on your setup? What Heads, Cam, Intake, Stall, Gears, Pistons, Injectors and Pump, Valve Springs etc. etc. I see your putting down some good times and was curious to know if what im looking to do was close to your setup. Thanks

Nice run!

I wondered why it was so rich, then I saw it was on the dope.

just curious but did you have to do any body work to get the 28s to fit? i am planning on doing 28x10.50s but concerned with rolling fenders and beating the hell outta my body. what backspacing is your rim? thanks

You have balls my friend. It looked like the car took a turn towards the wall on the launch but you stayed in it anyways!

Looks like a nice car, congrats on your times. Turn it up to a 150 and post the vid of your 9 sec pass for us.

Well I have a Formula which does not have the extras that a TA has. I had to move the rear end forward 1/4 inch and take a hammer to the inner fender wells in front of the rear end, no fender rolling I do not have the car lowered stock springs and rubber hose in place of the isolator. I have 7.5 inch backspacing for the 15X10 wheels. I hope this helps!

Yea it has always launched straight on the 26 inch tire but with the 28 inch tire it was a little bit different. I tweaked the suspension a little bit more after that outing I think it is ready to go now! The main purpose for going to the 28 inch tire was to add more nitrous so we will see what happens.

I was surprised to see it pickup all the way across the board with the 28 inch tire that is for sure!

Went to 411 today to make sure the tweaks to the suspension worked!

The track came around late in the afternoon! Who saids that track does not hook?

Here is a 1.378 60 foot video! I am really liking the 28 inch tires!!
