So I'm working on getting my car tuned and running to its full potential which it is currently not. I cut a 1.76 60ft time which is my best so far. The car dead hooked. All I can say is I can't wait to get that time down further. I know 1.76 isnt spectacular but i was sitting in the car like DAMN. Felt a little like a roller coaster launch. I can imagine what the guys running 1.5s and quicker are feeling. Must be one hell of a ride.

 

You should be in the 1.5s already with that setup. I've gone 1.63 with my cam only setup.

 

I'd have to agree. I don't have a lot of HP and still pull 1.61-162s NA, and almost full weight.

 

i know my 1/4 times are only 12.81. im supposed to be in the 11s. car feels strong so i don't know whats the problem. going ahave a professional look at my tune. i've been tuning it myself but i guees i'm doing something wrong. or maybe the car has a mechanical problem but like i said it feels strong so i don't know.

 

Iam at almost full weight and a 6 speed with complete stock suspension and i cut 1.6! iam buy some suspention parts to help get that down and allow me to come out of the hole on my full 150 shot!

 

i agree there is a lot left on the table .....what are your front shocks set at rear ect....what is your stall

 

i have a pro kit and kyb adjustables set at 6 in the front 4 in the back. vig3200 converter. i really think there is something wrong with the car. either with the tuning or mechanical.

 

you may be spinning and dont know it....

 

I remember the first time my car dead hooked. It's what really got the addiction rolling.

OP--What technique are you using to launch? Are you loading up the convertor, or stabbing it from idle?

 

i was loading the converter to about 2000 then giving it full gas. i had my dad looking and he said it didn't spin.

 

Same here..2,000 off the line with a 3,600 Vig. see sig.

 

try leaving off idle. that works best with my dads lt1 car .

 

Yeah I know what you mean. I remember when I first put my stall in and went to the track, threw me back, cell phone and radar detector went to the back seat. I went from 1.9-1.8s to 1.62-1.64s, and slowly work down to 1.5s just by learning the car, and messing with tire press. The bad thing is....you get use to it and want to 60ft better and go faster.

1.52 will make you poop your pants the first time you do it.

Then it's slow every other time forever.

 

with your shock settings. do you play with them at all? ive found my kyb's work best set at 6 in the rear. not to tight but not to loose.

 

that day at the track i didn't play with the suspension just the a/f.

 

There's a huge difference between a 1.7x and a 1.5x. You're going to love it when you go 1.5x.

The first time I went 1.49 it def caught me off guard.
I can't wait till I leave on a 150 shot + T-brake (TH400)

 

I have been a best of a 1.08 60ft. It was in a dragster that ran 4.81 @ 144mph. That one takes a lil gettin used to!

 

thats awesome, must be one hell of a kick in the ***.

 

Here's a mid 1.5 You will like it.

On the old motor it did 1.44 on a 100 shot out of the hole.



With my new Yank SS3600 I am anticipating some fun launches. Definitely better than what my TCI SSF was able to deliver.
