Default Launching a 380whp M6 with stock 10bolt and MT ET Street DR’s with 125 ZEX wet shot??

Launching a 380whp bolt on cam only M6 with stock 10bolt and MT ET Street DR’s with 125 n2o wet shot??

I have only been able to cut a 60ft less than 2.2 one time… it was on motor.
If I were to use spray… what is the best way to run low 11’s w/o breaking the rear end?

Looking for Technique advise.... also whether or not to spray off the launch??

That stock 10 bolt is definetely the weak link in your quest for a decent 60'. I don't think that your rear end is strong enough to withstand what it takes to make the car 60' good...

...letting the tires do the work. Those DRs are supposed to be very sticky. If I were you, I'd see how the car reacts to a 4500 rpm sidestep of the clutch. If the diff survives, the car will 60'. As far as the nitrous goes, the rear end probably won't last through a few hard launches on motor. Try to launch on the spray, and you're gonna make a big mess at the starting line.

I wouldnt spray in 1st unless your prepared to buy a new rear. Just slip the clutch fast from 3500 or more.

I snapped a axel before I did H&C. All that was done was headers and gears and a set of 26" ET streets. A couple of good 60's(1.7-1.64) and a snapped axel was next. That was on engine

My advice? Take friends to the track who will help you push your car out of the lanes when it breaks. And a trailer as insurance to get 'er home.

X2 Kiss the 10 bolt goodbye if you spray out of the hole and manage to hook. Your best bet is to spray 20-30 feet out in 1st once you've hooked.

What gear are you using?

I launched from 3500 slipping the clutch and netted a 2.0 60ft... too bad it was on my way to a 13.0@113. The stock 10 bolt sucks, as does the 3.42 gear set.

Get a rear + 4.10 + slicks and then go drag racing.

if you run it, slip the clutch out, and just try for 1.9s. anything else youll snap your rear like a twig
