    I started working 2 days after i turned 16. I played football in HS, I was in NHS, and i graduated in the top 10% (#22 of 350+ students). Before I was old enough to have a real job I mowed lawns. Colleges also like seeing that you can handle more than just schoolwork and being babied by parents.
    I put in 45 hours this week at the zone and I go to school at night until 11pm.

    Blows dick.

    It's not a matter of babying them. My son is a full-time highschool student with AP classes, involved heavily with Civil Air Patrol, baseball and his church's youth group. He is building character the way he feels he needs to, so I am obligated to clear his path for him to successfully reach his objectives. His time is worth more than minimum wage.

    I had some decent 245s for a while and they did pretty decent on the street, never took them to the track.

    When I put my springs/shocks/control arms on I will recheck everything to try and find out why it doesn't like to hook.

    Any suggestions on where to start? The only suspension mods are welded subframes, front sway bar unlocked and flipped quad shocks.

    I'd like to see what my car would look like with chrome ponys too.

    My truck traps at 77 with a 2.1 60' and traps at 76mph with a 1.9. Seems like the better the 60', the less mph you trap.
    You are correct.

    2.24 was a 225/55/16 kuhmo street tire.

    It traps right around 77-80mph every time.

    I attempted the track when it was cold to see what it would run with the 3.73s. It was humid, cold and I had bald tires. I ran a 9.6 @ 76mph, catching no grip. I would lift completely and get back in it to only spin more. Horrible day.
