finally broke into the 11s with slicks but I think my car still has more in it

slip is

60 ft ... 1.81
330 ......5.01
1/8 et....7.66
1/8mph..94.16
1/4 et....11.7
1/4mph..120.58


This is a fullweight car with A/C and all, running 10.5 x26 et streets and skinnis up front. I launched at 5500 rpms at 16psi on the tires for this run, I think maybe I should drop the psi some more and launch higher to prevent bogging. I know my car is not stup for drag it has a 18lb flywheel, koni shocks, strano springs, and 3.90 gears. I dont come close to running out of 4th gear at the end. I have been shifting at 6600 but I think this is to low so I have been running the shift light a second or so after the light before I shift. I think I will move it up to 6800 I make max power at 6400rpms.

any help would be apreciated I tried a 6k launch but spun so I am thinking of dropping pressure more. I know its a heavy car with a lighter flywheel but I think I can get less than a 1.8 sixty i would like to have a 1.6 and also maybe cut a 11.4.

it was pretty hot that day also but this run was around 9 30 to 10 pm when things cooled off

have any video of your passes? that'd help lol

This way we can see how you launch it and see your shifts as well.

get that 60' down to a 1.5 and you'll be in the low 11's :)
