possible, but the m6's typically trap higher anyway. I dont see how the hell you are cutting sub 1.6 60's with that much weight lol. I am thinking I need some more seat time, I might go make some passes tomorrow and see how it goes. I will be happy with just a high 11 sec pass

I was shocked at the 60' too on DR's. I really didn't think it would do it considering the car is lowered 1" with BMR springs and has the front sway still in on Bilstein shocks. It comes out real hard! I have a 3.70 9" going in and plan on doing the short belt trying to get high 11's. I think it has a 1.55 60' in it. With the 9" in place I can run full slicks so I may do that and see just how low I can get it. Should be fun!



BTW... The 1.59 was with 1/2 tank of gas. It actually 60's better with more gas in the tank. Now if I could learn how to lighten without cutting the car up

Chris, you just need some seat time. Ive watched those videos alot and also being there that day runnin with yall I noticed that when I actually sat down and watched you make a pass. You need to do a longer burn out and your launch technique needs a little work also. Basically all this amounts to is seat time. I kept a log of my runs when I went so I could keep up with what worked and what didnt. Mainly launch rpms and psi was my problem, but I got that figured out now. I'm plannin on goin back next weekend. Anytime you want someone to watch and go out on the pad to help you out (which is alot easier) let me know and I'll help you out the best I can. Gotta get you whoopin steve worse than a tenth

Hey Jay, what up??
I think it's your shifting personally. Don't concentrate on MPH. I ran 11.91@111. Practice those shifts.

In my opinion if your shifting slow it dont mean your mph will "suck" it just means it wont be at its full capabillity. Maybe you do have a 115 mph plus car. Whats your setup as far as clutch and hydrolics?

Thats a nice set up. Do you have any video of you shifting inside the car? I would take a video and look back on it to see if theres room for improvement. Also look at videos of your runs.

your 1/8 mph seems on the $ for the e.t., but it does seem like it should run 1 or 2 mph faster in the 1/4

get out there and bang them gears man!
full throttle shift that ho and watch the numbers fall haha
