Ok guys im so frustrated. I went to track friday night and made 6 passes. i had the DR's on and aired em down to like 25 psi. it seemed to hook real good no spinning. first 5 passes i ran 13.6-13.7????? final pass i managed to get a 13.4. but the thing is on my shitty street tires i ran a 13.4 @100. i guess you could say the Dr's have made me more consistent, but i was looking to get low 13's with them. i was launching it at like 1400 or 1500 rpm (i still have stock stall). i was cutting 2.0 60' times which is what i was cutting on street tires????? and my reaction time on pretty much all 6 passes was like .114 or right in that range. i was getting good launches. idk what to do. im not looking to spend anymore money right now cause i know i need a stall. i just would think with my mods i should be running faster than this. and it was not real humid on my last 3 passes??? please give me some tips on how to get a little faster. these passes i was pulling like 102 or 103 mph in the 1/4 mile unlike on street tires i was pulling 100mph. but now my car has Dr's, stiffer shocks out back, and 3.42's???? please help... sorry for the long post im just frustrated. thanks for the help in advance.

the only way i know of to go faster for free is to take weight out. If you don't need it get rid of it.

They are M/T et streets....
and i do have some weight taken out such as spare tire and jack, rear seat and seat belts, and front swaybar???? i was just thinking with my mods i would think i should be in the low 13's, but i really dont know????

The car has gotta hook and go.

Try dropping your launch rpm.

I might have to try launch a little lower??? but to the its gotta hook and go???? it does hook, it hooks very well with the Dr's...

Maybe a 1.7-1.8 60ft time then should help if you don't like the way it was worded.

Put them MTs at about 16 lbs and launch at 1000 rpms .

hell i launch mine at around 3k on the same set up with a mt and cut springs and it hooks ok. it isnt dead hook but it definitely does way better than street tires. ya just gotta know how to feather out of it till your tires catch and then youll get lower times.. i think you could be launching higher, just my .02

Leave it in d and leave off idle. 3/4 throttle 60' then open her up the rest of the way. That's how my buddy launches his a4 ws6

I will have to try launching a little higher than too and off idle too and see what happens... and it does hook very well, spinning is not the big issue...

I have a 4000 stall in my car and get better times launching at 1800rpms then i do at say 2500rpms. just gotta find the sweet spot in the converter. and yes i do dead hook at both of those rpms. havent tried anything higher then 2500 rpms yet but hell i might find some better times above 2500.
