First time at the track, weird times though! my best time was a 13.6@108.7mph with a 2.195 60ft, however, i ran another 13.64 with a 2.3 60ft, no matter what i couldnt get a good launch in first, either could anyone else, as i raced a ferrari and couple other ls1s with traps in the 115 range and they ran 13.1.
this is with street tires, almost 3/4 tank of gas, full race weight, and i didnt touch the tire pressure, like 34 or so on every tire. Also need a shift light!! i had to shift at around 6k, because it seemed it would hit limiter if i let it go closer to 6200. I just thought i shouldve hit 13.3 or so with that 60ft. What do you guys think?

yeah i know my 60ft isnt great, but the thing that confuses me is, i see cars similar to mine run a worse 60ft and mph, but yet run a low 13@105mph or so. So if i get off the line faster, and have a higher mph, how can they have a better et?? thats what doesnt make sense.

A 115 trap should be a low 12's car. I run a 13.1-2 at 104-106 (106 before stall). With your 60 foot times you should be where you are mid to high 13's. The 6 speed cars trap a couple mph more in the 1/4, but normally have higher 60 foot times and make up the ground after the 1/8th on a near stock car. I found 26psi pressure helps too with reg tires.

my best 1/8th time was on the 13.6 run, 8.9 in the 1/8th, seems a bit high to me!! Is my car slow in first and second and pick up in third? what are normal people running in the 1/8 on a lid/exhaust m6 ls1?

yeah exactly, the majority of the cars running that day were having the same problems, but i dont see why it would do that, everyone was running good mph, but not great ETs
