Ram my Hawk last night with pretty much the same stuff. Got 13.4 @ 106. 60 foot times were killing me best I could manage was 2.15. Spinning the tires pretty good going into second as well. I am running 315 Sumatomo tires so that was to be expected.

Just have fun, With an M6 just don't try to lauch too hard. Walk it out around 2k slowly get into it. Low 13's like Coach said. With some DR's high 12's. Practice your lauches, your et's are in the 60ft.

What tires are you running? If you are running straight up street tires, do not go throught the box. Go arround and spin them a little to clean them up, drop it at about 2k. DRs, heat em up and drop it at about 3500.

Just have fun and practice the launch. It is not easy to 60'. Drop the rear pressure a little and slip the clutch at about 3500. Once you get traction drop the hammer.

I would just clean off the street tires with a little spin. No need to do a burn out on street tires, but it is fun.
