launching on stock verter Hey guys just what the title says my 60' times with the stock veter is killing me. What are you guys launching at? I usually launch ne where from 13 hundred to 15 hundred my best 60' time to date was like 2.2. I've ran 13.5 with the stock conveter so I looking foward to upgrading. Just wanted to see where everyone else is at. n i have 2.73's if it helps
With a lid, cat back, LCA's, and Sub Frame Connectors, I had a couple 2.0x's. But your ET is better than mine, my best is 13.64. I'm also running 2.73's, and launch at about 1200 RPM's.
I was flashing my stock converter also. Let the car idle, on the second yellow floor the car while holding the brake. let off brake on the third yellow. you should be able to cut 1.9

I absolutely smoke my pathetic 245/50/16 Yokohama all seasons if I stomp the gas off the line.
I have 3.23 gear and the aforementioned tires and launch around 1300-1500 by yanking my foot off the brake and rolling onto the gas for the first second or so. I hit a 1.9 doing this at Byron when it was about 85* out.

Yea man if you can get traction I would advise "flash" stalling your stock converter. A set of Nitto DR's would help alot. But really the stock converter is a dog and I dont think I would expect much better than a 1.8-1.9 60 with it. Good Luck
