how do you guys get out of the hole?

i leave at 3000 if i don't spin alittle (about 2-3 rotations) it bogs. stock 10 bolt so i'm afaid to leave any higher.
heres a couple passes
1.858 60 ft. 7.689 1/8 11.804 1/4 120.93 mph
1.849 60 ft 7.689 1/8 11.742 1/4 116.87 mph(lifted to avoid break out)
i get consistant 120 mph but the car just seams slow for that mph.
car is an m6, 4.10, on et streets.
thanks for any help,
matt

He's already running ET Streets.

The only thing you can do is put a 12 bolt or 9" under the car and then leave at 5,000 +. Those are some very impressive times for a M6 with the 10 bolt.

Start saving for a 12 bolt so you can do a proper clutch dump.

My car's happy spot was dumping from 3750, 14lbs in the drag radials. Lower rpm would bog, more rpm would spin. Note: your 10 bolt will not last dumping the clutch.

thanks for all your help. i figured a rearend is in order but i just ordered an 8 pt bar ($109.00) from sw race car to stay legal any ways i'll run once more and see if i can get a better 60 ft i'll try opening the exhaust and i leaned out my nitrous and added a bottle heater this time preassure should be up not at 600lbs. can't wait to see how it'll run this time.

jesus! that is on the stock 10 bolt?!?!?!?! u are a BRAVE soul!!!!

i would not go any higher than 3,000 on that rear (i wouldnt do anything at all with it) but, u need to save for a 9" and dump the clutch at 5,000 or so RPM. that is the best i had tried when my car was a 6 speed.

Thumbs up

Those are pretty damn impressive for a stock 10 bolt M6 IMO. Save up for a 12 bolt or 9in. and You'll have the 60's and your et down where they should be.

Sounds like a pretty damn nice car.
