Sorry I thought it said 4800 eyes failing me lol

I'd be betting on tires for sure.
holeshotta what David is saying is probably the problem. I don't want you to take this personally but I was thinking some of your inconsistancy might be the way your staging and how quick you come up on the converter. I don't know if you know that for every inch you roll in after your prestage light comes on will change your 60ft times by .015. You have 7 inches of total roll out. so if your dragster goes in 2 inches deep it will make .03 difference in the 60ft and up to .05 difference in the 1/8. A dragster to me was alittle harder to stage just right than a door car. I think it maybe, its because it is lighter and rolls easier. Just a thought.
