That would be a good range, but you will need to do it in 4x4. Which I would wait to try until you have billet shafts...

Yeah. I know. I'm really kicking myself for not trying to scrape the money up and get at least the input but oh well.

For bracket racing and consistency I leave the line at 15 psi and pull 1.74 to 1.76 60 foots. if I leave at 20+ psi and get it to actually hook it pulls 1.6s. But I'd be careful how many 15 pound launches you do on those stock shafts.

Id say NONE. It only takes one time to snap a shaft. The shafts arent necessarily something that wear out over time. Either it holds or it dont.

I'm not talking about 25+lbs at launch notice I said 10 or so. Because I'm afraid of breaking my stock shafts also!!

There,..... I said it!! You guys happy now???

I ran a 14.9 with a completly stock trans, jammer 5s, and a drag comp (on 35s). I did a hard 25 lb lauch on a stock trans. Mine started to slip Bad after the run but it did hold up for over 150k miles.

Maybe but I have been around long enough to understand the limitations of things and that I am gonna have to have self control. How do you think I kept my stocker alive with the power I was running through it.
