LS4 Performance - First time ever to a strip

I went to the strip for the first time ever lastnight and the car didn't do to bad but thought it was off a bit. I got four passes in with three passes at 14.7- and one 14.8- (rev limiter) all at 96.-mph. The problem I was having is with staging the thing would hook real good but would bog down then go. I was loading to 2200rpm then someone said I should try 2500rpm but after reading another thread they were saying 1800rpm. Is this my problem was I over reving? The car I completely stock except air filter. Please be kind to this first timer.

What car do you have. I got a 14.7 @ 96 in my stock imp ss

Were you spinning off the line?

Sounds like you left TC on...what were your 60 foot times?

These cars are 14.0 capable stock with a good launch and good driver.

With a catless 3" DP, 3" catback and CAI I cut 2.07 60ft on the way to a 13.8x at 101.7mph...it needs better tire...

Were you spinning off the line?

Yup...Either he left the TC on or he hit the diff anti-score.

sorry bro but thats a shitty time, takes practice and 4 passes isnt really enough. every track is different , my best advice is to be soft with the launch and slowly start from a higher rpm every time. you want to spin as least as possible.
im not a pro by any means and have a 2.0 60 foot on v12s,my goal is 1.8

It's an 08 GXP. The traction control was off and was not spinning the tires. All my 60' time were 2.3-. When I would launch it would go then bog down like when you have a manual in the wrong gear then it would get up and go.

Tapshift?

Yes, I shifted at 48-49mph.

My guess would also be the diff anti-score kicked in. I have practiced launching many times on my "private" race strip...actually a secret nearly deserted road and/or freeway on-ramp :)...with my G-tech meter (yes, yes, I know: that wiener G-tech meter LOL but it is a good indicator of techniques that work and those that don't).

When T/C was turned off during a launch and I veered even a bit off the straight line, I would get that bog. It would indeed slow down my times by .8 seconds to 60 and the 1/4. With T/C on I wouldn't get it unless I was taking a sharpish turn at half to full throttle.

My best results came with T/C on and backing off when it starts to engage until I'm past the "spin zone"...around 40MPH...then pinning the petal to the floor.

Practice, practice, practice...

wheel hop???
i guesss try and be a little more gentle with it

If you had the TC off it is def the anti score kicking if which means you were spinning a bit. Next time your at the track try leaving at idle then every other pass get on the converter a little more until your 60 ft gets slower. Also ease into WOT to reduce wheel spin.
