I can't drive!! HELP!!

Why can't I do better than a 12.6 at 114 on a 100 shot? My 60' was a shitty 2.12, but that's on street tires and I just couldn't launch it any better without crazy wheel hop. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

The best thing you could do is get some real tires for the track and all of your problems will go away!

I agree...get some E T Streets...they will take some shock out of the launch. Your getting killed with the street tires. My truck is doing a 12.06 on a 75 shot with the little iron block 5.3. I was trapping 110...and I see you are at 114. A good sixty should put you in the 11's.

Drag radials. Problem solved. I predict you will pick up 0.5-0.8 secs in the quarter simply by switching to good tires.
