It's about time I take my car. I'm going wednesday night. What do you think I should run with my mods? Fastest thing I've killed on the street was a 5speed Mach 1 and It was only by two cars at 80. I have a Ramclutches clutch with about 3000miles on it and I have no Idea where to launch it at. I feather it on the street with minimal wheelspin but i'm not "really" launching. I have attempted to launch at 2k and it's just mad wheelspin. I'll be running very grippy radials on stock 16s. Should I lower the tire pressure a tad? How should I launch? Any help is appreciated, Nick.

I'm gonna say low 13's at around 108 mph......being that I dont think your gonna get much grip with street tires. Get some drag radials or et streets and see 12's for sure if your car is running right.

Yep if you had some sticky tires it could shave a considerable amount off your expected time.
With stock radials I wouldnt lower them more than a few PSI as it willdistort your contact patch and make traction worse!!

I can't answer the radial tire six speed launch question, never done it onthe track...lol

Thanks, I've been practicing and on the street 2k seems to be the sweet spot. I'll definitely grab some ET streets if I find a good deal.
