went to the track friday night lil disappointed dont know if it was the tires/car/track... i think i should be running faster.I do have 8yr old pretty bold et streets on 16inch rims which could be the problem. Launching from 4500-5000rpms (quick release not side step it) about 18-22psi in the tires (all the same result). Takes off it would spin hard fish tail to the left then take off. the track wasnt prepped at all. need some input thanks

You are running pretty much what I do. I would expect your combo to trap higher with the manual trans (90-92mph).
It's a good starting point. Tune up if it hasn't had one lately, maybe some fine tuning, and honing of the driving skills and where it wants to be shifted and you should be golden.

What were the weather conditions like? I would expect your trap to be in the 90's regardless of track prep. What RPM were going through the traps at (just curious)?

You can cut that wheel spin down by getting some fresh tires or by going to a taller gear would help also. Like a 3.23 you would also pick up several mph. A taller tire also might help you.

He's an M6, 4.10's are about perfect for the 1/8th mile. My car goes through the traps at 6400 or so in 3rd at 93-94 mph with a 26" tire. I'd say you're not too far off, some drag wheels would help you quite a bit as well vs. the 16" stockers.
