17" nittos on M6...help
ok, my mods are in my sig...i just put on some 275/40-17 nitto drag radials...
at the track i couldn't pull less than a 2.00 60 ft...what am i doing wrong? i tried all different kinds of launch techniques...the track is pretty good about prep and always has decent traction.
i had the same tires on my mustang GT and had the same problems...
but i see people pulling 1.7x's and even 1.6x's on nittos...what gives?
i'd be happy with some 1.8's
help

Wait, wait... the Nittos are fine.
I used to get 1.9xx without trying.
I modified a bit with some advice the other day and cut 1.8xxs.
1. Good burnout (heel/toeing of course).
2. Pump clutch while approaching beams.
3. Hold revs at 3000.
4. Christmas tree 2nd or 3rd amber... let clutch out (yes dump) but do NOT mash the gas while dumping clutch. HOLD REVS!
5. After car rolls forward a bit... PUNCH it.
I go at 18-19 psi.
Can go down to 16.

The best I pulled on BFGs was 1.91 after a lot of practice using a similar method. I think my clutch had to much slipage for any better times. I wasn't spinning on those launches. Line lock will also help with the burnouts

I helped a guy at the track last nigh that was running strong but could not get out the hole better than a 2.0 but run 12 .1's . I told him to do just what me and south florida has been telling you and he went 11.95 with a 1.86 60 on a not that good of a track(state capital in Baton Rouge) . He still has the front sway bar on and you could see the car squat in the back but the front would not lift to help keep the wait on the back and he would start to spin. He is going to pull it this week and try again next Friday without the sway bar. I look for him to be in the 1.7's next friday night.
