Went to the local 1/8th today.. first time out with this car
Well, I hit our local race-legal 1/8th mile at qualcomm stadium, which is about the worst prepped track on earth. I could not get traction at all on this track, I was spinning until the middle of 3rd gear. Anyways, heres my results from my best run:
RT - 1.067 (zZzZ)
60' - 2.454
MPH - 88.24
ET - 8.953
Most of my other 60' times were in the 2.6 to 2.8 range, I was blowing my tires away no matter how much I feathered the launch. Time for some better rubber. What do you guys think I could run if I got my 60' down to around 1.9-2.0? My ET was consistently 87-88mph.

M/T is the way to go, I went 7.69@88.42. In your Sig. your car makes 422 rwhp so you should be around 90 mph running mid 7's. with 1.70ish 60ft.

Thats what I was thinking, somewhere around low 8's. The track prep is nonexistent because its a parking lot, not a real track (its also uphill). I had to let off on half the runs because I would get pointed at the wall. I tried running my BFG's as low as 15psi and really heating them up but it was still like I was driving on glass. There was a bunch of guys in cobras running some hoosiers or MTs and they seemed to do okay though.
