Took the car to the track finally Ive only had the car a month or so and I finally got the car out to the track tonight. I got there really late and only got in 3 runs and with no cool downs.
Heres what the car is
96 Formula Ws6 M6
Mods are,B&B cat-back ,K&N filter,Pro 5.0 w/Speeding short stick,BMR STB,BMR SFC, BMR Box control arms, BMR PHB, UMI Tunnel mount adjustable TA
on Good year F1s ,all runs I drove around the water box and just backed into the edge of the water box for burnouts
First run was at 35psi and tiny burn out to clean the tires, left at 2500 spinning all over the place
60ft 2.374
ET 14.127 @ 101.11
Second pass I set the tire pressue at 27psi and did a healthy burnout and left at 2500
Car hooked too good and the car fell on its face bad
60ft. 2.382
ET 14.204 @ 100.96
Third pass same as 2nd but left at 3000
and the car hooked and fell on its face again but better than before
60ft 2.218
ET 14.025 @ 100.54
It was hooking good, I needed to try a 3500-4000 launch but just ran out of time. Im sure its a 13.80 car as soon as the 60s come down to the 1.9-2.0 range. Ill try again soon But it was real close to where I thought it should be.
Also Im pretty sure I need to get the driveshaft rebalance because as soon as you hit 90-100 the car get some pretty heavy vibrations. Its not the pinion angle because I had noticed this on the HWY B4 i put on the TA
Oh by the way I won all 3 races, 1st one was a truck, second was some jap crap didnt pay attention to it
3rd was a 98+ LS1 Z28 looked to have about the same mods as me he ran a 14.50 @99.30 and had a 2.534 60ft and I killed him by about .3 on the tree.
Ended up winning by .7903. Would have been nice to have a vid.

Thats what I do, just a little dip......not even really in it, and then roast those suckers. Just grab some MTs and you will be amazed at how hard you can leave the hole when they stick.

On pass 2 & 3 It did hook. I Thought it would just haze them off the line but it gripped so good the car fell on its face. Harder launch shoud solve the prob. DRs will be on by the next time I hit the track anyways. By the 1/8 the car was going 80.xx mph
I also think the DS is out of balance at around 90mph it car vibrates pretty bad and Im sure thats not helping me. Silky smooth up to 90 though. Got to take care of this first.
