Temperature: max 77 degrees, min 73 degrees
Barometric Pressure: max 30.05, min 30.01
Humidity: max 41%, min 37%
Winds: ESE at 8 mph
Notes: QA1 shocks all around. Front set at 2, rear set at 6. Launched off the foot-brake at 4 psi of boost. Mickey Thompson ET Street radials (325/50/15), set at 18 psi. The 'Bird lifted the front end about 10 inches, with a slight right-side pull bias.

New Suspension Testing
Temperature: max 72 degrees, min 70 degrees
Barometric Pressure: max 29.88, min 29.85
Humidity: max 26%, min 24%
Winds: West at 6 mph
Notes: QA1 shocks in front set on 2. Suspension limiters set at 4 inches of travel. AFCO rear shocks set at 10 off of tight on extension, 5 off tight on compression. Two degrees down angle on the torque arm, and 1.8 degrees of up angle on the lower control arms; 2.5 degrees of pinion angle. Rear drag-radial air pressure set at 18 psi, and the car was launched off of the foot-brake at 6 psi of boost. Car lifted the wheels approximately 2 feet, and no pull was evident. After this pass, due to NHRA standards (rollcage certification), all testing for the car had to be done with eighth-mile passes.
