Default H/C M6 guys, what's your launch rpm and 60 ft.?

How hard do you h/c guys come outta the hole. i went to the track for the first time in my life with the car in my sig. My best time was a 11.68 with a 1.74 60ft. i guess thats arite for my first time at a track. My car traps 122mph so i know theres more in it, im just curious on what rpm you leave the light at. I was leaving around 5k rpm on a 275-40-17 mt street radial.

You seem to have all of the suspension and rear end covered.With a slick and good track prep it should go in the low 1.50s.Im not really sure a 17 inch drag radial has enough sidewall flex to bite any harder.Try to borrow a set of rims and slicks for a pass or two next time out,if you can.

defiantly go to a slick and come out around 6000 if you hook you should be in the 1.5's

Please Review this.....

https://ls1tech.com/forums/eastern-members/988971-my-car-manned-f-ck-up-today-new-pb.html

This has been my exp.

a Heavy M6 Car making 390-400 rwhp

Has all suspension except Shock/Springs and a Heavier rear sway bar. Also will be adding SFC's

That post is a recent outing where the car did awesome.

I tried leaving harder on the next outing and discovered the car was slamming on the rear and see-sawing back and forth, the vid shows that. The nose picks up and bounces back.

For me its run with slicks, and close to off the limiter dump.

6k-7k slipping the clutch gets me around 1.35-1.38 but the best I ever had was 1.32 and I use 28" et drags.
