Drag racing is all in the 60ft.

Your car is charging hard at the top end but without a decent 60ft your mired in the mid to low 12's.

For example my 130,000 mile bolt on 99 TA went 12.265 today.

1.75 60ft 5.039 330ft 7.809 at 88.52 1/8th 12.265 at 110.52 1/4

Do you have any suspension work? TA? RLCA's? Springs? Shocks?

What track? What time of day?

edit- 115mph is enough to run well into the 11's, so the power is there.

Get the 60ft down.. You should be 1.6-1.7 range.

Sounds just like me! I was going 12.2 @ 114 on a 1.9 60ft dropping from 3500. Then I got some adjustable front shocks, started dumping at 5k+ and VOILA! I've made 9 consistent 11 sec passes since, with a best of 11.7 @ 117 on just a 1.7 60 ft

Ok so my main concern is dropping my 60ft it sounds like. I think I hit the sweet spot at 15psi and just need to pedal the gas a little better. I want to stay away from ‘feathering’ the clutch because I heard that it is 2x as hard on the clutch. Plus I don’t know how to do it .Also I might look into getting a torque arm.

I forgot to mention the car does have kyb 8 way adjustables in front. Although I completely forgot about messing with them. I suppose I need to set them as loose as possible to get the most weight transfer? Also SFC, LCA, and panhard.

I raced at Mokan dragway at about 5:15pm.

Thanks for all the input guys.

Gettin an M6 to hook can be a challenge! Its all in the susp both frt and rear. A friend ran a similiar set-up and 60' in the 1.6s and ets in 11.6s. He has since gone to 4.30 gears and MT DRs 295/55-15 with mixed results. But in your case, focus on the susp. and mark your tires at the valve stem cause at 15psi the may slip on the rims. Keep us posted!! Larry.
