I finished my project since last year, (cam, headers, etc)
anyways, with stock manifolds, clutch, and cam, I ran a 13.8@98mph with a 60' 2.2....OK I run earlier this month for the first time in about a year, my first fun was like a 14.353@103 w/ 60' of 2.851, I missed 3rd my second run and just coasted to the finish line, and then my 3rd and final run I ran a 14.211@104 w/60' of 2.723...my car is definantly a mid to low 13 second car on street tires now, ?? I can't seem to launch right, I launched the first run at 2500rpms, then the second good run of the night at 2000rpms, I keep spinning now all the way through the hole...I don't ride the clutch, I try to feather with the gas, but traction just doesn't seem to be there...I ran my tire pressure at 28psi in the rear (BFG comp TA 275/45/17)
that didn't seem to help...should I lower the tire psi even more?
my tires are fairly new BTW. Just need some tips for my next outting coming up here this weekend at Beech Bend...
