yeah, I guess that was my best launch on that run with a short time of 2.0 and my slowest trap speed @ 75. Earlier I had a short of 2.2 and trap of 88. Need to put them together.

I have a 2000 M6 formula with about the same mods and about 10 less whp and tq as you, ran 8.1-8.2s @ 90-91 on true street tires with 2.00 60's. Judging by your trap of 88, you could be there easy with good air or a bit more seat time. 1.8 60' should get you easy 7.xx's.

Just takes practice, man. You're good for high 7s, low 8s all day in good air.

yeah my umi lca's are still angled up..my car is too low. Do the brackets and torque arm make a big difference? I know the sfc's did.

I really havent had noticed any wheel hop. My SCF's were a big improvement. The car doesnt feel like its going to fold in half any more. I ran a new best today... went 8.3 @ 89 with a 2.1 short time. My best 60 foot today was 1.9.
