I have been trying to launch this car for about a year now on nittos and I finally got my slicks. Before I show you my times I will give a disclaimer of high density altitudes. It is usually around 5800 DAs, and as soon as I get the info needed I will have an actual DA. The track did get shut down because of a storm rolling in, so they weren't that great I am sure. Not to mention I only got 3 runs in, but anyways here they are...
60' 1.997
1/8 8.366
MPH 85.86
1000 10.855
1/4 12.947
MPH 108.04
60' 1.847
1/8 8.321
MPH 84.77
1/4 12.939
MPH 107.65
lol this launch was so hard it knocked my head back and I short shifted 1-2 shift and 2-3 shift.. this explains the slow 1/8 and 1/4
60' 1.910
1/8 8.286
MPH 86.07
1/4 12.853
MPH 108.47
spun a little, and then hooked
Ok, so before I had the slicks with this same setup I ran a 13.200@108.66, and a 13.08@109.67 w/ the exhaust off (from under driver seat back) so this was a new best, with slicks though.
I am happy with the 60' and all, but I want to beat it next week, I just want to know how. My main problem is I was slipping the clutch out like I still had ****ty tires, so I am sure if I got a good burnout a good clutch drop would help... what else? any ideas? I want to set up the nitrous for next week but I want to be sixty-footing well before I plug that in.
thanks for the advice
