Default Improvement, take a look?

R/T .205
60' 1.905
330 4.958
MPH 75.44
1/8 7.438
MPH 97.28
3:22PM Nov. 2 2008
temp was in the low 80's


car is basically a 76mm turbo on stock engine, tranny has a 3400 stall, and rear is the stock 10 bolt with 2.73's
run was on some M/T ET Street tires with a TINY burnout. tires were at 18 PSI
took off at about 1900 RPM's
suspension includes LCA relo brackets and BMR LCA/PHB
car is full weight, still with AC and stereo

was wondering if those numbers look correct, to each other. also any tips on launching it? seems like the car has more in it just cant get it to launch correctly. Advice?
thanks for looking!

i think if i'm looking at the logs correctly i was just entering 3rd gear when i left off at the top end.

my next mods are going to be the th400 tranny and the 9inch rear, then the new block on about 17 psi

for now i just want to see how far i can get the stock driveline to go lol kinda like the guys on the FI section seeing how far they can push a stock lq9 block, so far i belive it's 850 hp on stock internals

Where you spinning bad? You should 60' way better than that. I mean Superman09 pulled a 1.8x 60' with a stock conveter'd turbo car.

it feels squarly once you start going towards the end of the run. but as far as spinning i wasn't pushing it out of the hole hard enough to spin them. this time around i'm going to launch it hard and see if i can get that 60 down. i guess i was driving like i did on thursday where i was spinning bad every time the car got into boost. almost lost the car a couple of times

Try launching at like 2500, get more gear and more stall! This should bring your 60" times way down! Also, try only a 1/4 tank of gas, then fill up at the corner before you go home. Just giving you some tips from a pro!
