what was your sixty foot time? I achieved the my best 60 foot(which is still a crappy 2.05) by slippin the clutch from 3k. Mods in my sig except I havent been to the track since my LTs and ORY. I was running on 275/40r17 street tires. At first i was dumpin at 1500 and I was at 2.2x's and there was much more wheel hop then too. Feels much smoother and easier on the 10 bolt by slippin from 3k for me

out of 11 runs in my car so far, my best 60 footer was 1.97 and that was just a straight up launch letting the clutch out and pushing the gas at the same time. i've been out to the track twice and that's how i've been getting my best runs. i know theres gotta be a better way but i just spin if i dont baby it. im thinking i need to let the clutch out slower but i feel like if i slip it any more i might as well be driving on the street. i know i could use some drag radials or slicks but im on one hell of a tiny budget. i'm saving up for my next insurance payment on the car as a matter of fact. (you'd be suprised to see what us motor city guys do for our cars haha.)

Its going to be really hard to be consistent with 4.10s, a 6 speed, and street tires. The best investment I ever made was a set of Nitto drag radials. You can drive them on the street and still get 15k miles out of them.
