11's barely. Vid inside!!
11's barely. Vid inside!! Welcome me to the club, I guess!
I ran a 11.96 @ 123.2 the other day @ Norwalk, OH.
I have the usual bolt ons (Lid, LTs, Corsa exhaust through gutted cats) as well as a hotcam and a NX 100 shot, manual trans street tires. 60 ft was 2.2!! Yupp, my launches are no good.
The car runs 12.4 @ 115.5 n/a.
I've had huge problems with my rear suspension until I got new cheap shocks and airbags. Somewhat better now.
Anyways, looking at the trap speed, the car has much more in it. I need some stickier tires.
But I am happy. The car is a streetcar, not a drag car, therefore trap speed is much more important to me than ETs

I don't know. I usually try to stay away from the TnTs, its too crowded on those days.
I try to sign up for all the track rentals.

cool vid. what are you launching the car at?? sounds pretty high up there in the rpms
Try this-
18-20psi in back tires, 44-50 in the front
launch it around 3500-4000 rpm and slip the clutch quickly, dont dump it.
thats how i do it on street tires and 4.11s

Thank you!
That time I was launching @ 4500 rpm, slipping the clutch like a ****.
I had to laugh when I read your suggestion about tire pressure, because that's exactly how it was set that day.
I tried all kinds of different things since it was my first time @ the track with this setup. I know that eventually I'll do a bit better.
I am just really happy about the trap speed, the ETs are secondary to me.
