Sigh, me too...

Heritage/Street Scenes grilles sitting in garage on top of the %#@! '66
SOLO cat-back stored in the shed
and (probably) the Hotchkis Stage 1 convertible springs/sways

Likely won't get to them until spring at this point. I'm in the middle of a total renovation of our kitchen.

1 sec

. And I am running 20x10 TSW Nurburgrings on all corners with general gmax tires lol not the greatest set-up. That run I had the rear tire presure at 30psi.

Nice a second is a significant difference. And have you tried to go lower PSI to see what would happen?

Whoops sorry my math is way way off no idea why I said a full second lol. But did you notice a significant difference with the trailing arms?

Hard to say since I was still spinning. I'll have to go back through my old slips at this track and see how my 60ft compared to previous ones. The track prep isn't the greatest. But here is my slip.

Trailing arms will help a lot more with drag radials. If you were to get drag radials and didn't have trailing arms, the sudden traction could shock the suspension and cause it to make the lca jump. When that happens, the wheels "hop". Then they grab traction and it starts again. With trailing arms, it really plants the suspension down so that the drag radials don't cause that hop
