Default oh well maby next time the conditions will be better

ok guys after weeks of waiting on some decent weather to interweave with my available track days i finally got one. i all goes well im hoping to finally get on to that list of the stock internals m6's in the 11's striped more weight, finally got a line lock, and some et streets with subframes. plus the last times were with only a few passes with the new gears and suspension. as long as i get of the line without the tires doing this i think it will do it. what yall think? never mind i wound up the whole night.

well i made it further into eliminations that i thought. but the bad news is that for the first time ever npr had horible track prep the 11sec autos on my same tires were pulling 1.7 60's. my best was 1.76 which pised me off because i pulled a 1.78 on 245 nittos. i did go from my previous 112 mph to 114 mph because i was spinning my *** off. i tried 18, 15, and 13 psi in the rear and nothing would hook i did a long bunout, short burnout and almost no burnout. no luck at all. also the humidity was really bad. my best et was a 12.23 at 114. the guys said i wasted 1st got loose in 2nd and i felt it walk on me in 3rd. so i dont know what the deal was. felt like driving on oil. i know there is more there because the 12.23 was on a 1.8 60' so if they ever hook ill get my 11's

Sounds like you have the same problem i am having. Our set ups look pretty much the same minus the LT's, TB, and MAF. I was running 1.77-1.79 60's all night long on ET streets at 13-14psi. For one i wasn't getting them hot enough burning off in 1st gear. So i tried in second gear, barely smoked them, but they were a bit more sticky. 2nd gear spins them up a lot faster. Ran a 1.71 60' still with a bit of spin out of the hole. Advice also given to me would be to drop that pressure down to 10-11psi. I'm still learning myself, so i don't want to sound like i've got a chip on my shoulder, just passing on a little info i picked up.

Very nice times despite not breaking into the 11's. You'll get there sooner or later, just gonna take some patients and a bit more practice. Better watch out, i'm going for that stock internals list too.

Atleast you managed to pick up a tenth with crappy track conditions If you can get out in some nice dry air on a good hooking track you'll get in the 11's.
