4-link/swing-arm dragster burnout
My buddy finally got to run his dragster for the first time and I have a question. Its a '00 Fritz, 235" swing arm, 565 ReherMorrison, 1.80 glide, 4.10 gear and 33x16 Goodyears. In Denver, ran 8.02 @ 169 w/1.18 60's.
The problem is the burnout. The car shakes hard in the burn out unless it's VERY short. I'm talking about barely a 1 sec burnout. My only dragster experience is with fed's and mine would shake if I made the burnout too long, but not like this. It does have a burnout limiter on a button set @ 6500rpm. I suggested trying it without the limiter. Is this common with a suspended dragster, or is there something we're missing? Any suggestion/thoughts would be appreciated He's running 5psi in the slicks.....
Thanks,
Johnny
