DIAGNOSE my Slip, need tips!!! finally broke into the 11s with slicks but I think my car still has more in it
slip is
60 ft ... 1.81
330 ......5.01
1/8 et....7.66
1/8mph..94.16
1/4 et....11.7
1/4mph..120.58
This is a fullweight car with A/C and all, running 10.5 x26 et streets and skinnis up front. I launched at 5500 rpms at 16psi on the tires for this run, I think maybe I should drop the psi some more and launch higher to prevent bogging. I know my car is not stup for drag it has a 18lb flywheel, koni shocks, strano springs, and 3.90 gears. I dont come close to running out of 4th gear at the end. I have been shifting at 6600 but I think this is to low so I have been running the shift light a second or so after the light before I shift. I think I will move it up to 6800 I make max power at 6400rpms.
any help would be apreciated I tried a 6k launch but spun so I am thinking of dropping pressure more. I know its a heavy car with a lighter flywheel but I think I can get less than a 1.8 sixty i would like to have a 1.6 and also maybe cut a 11.4.
it was pretty hot that day also but this run was around 9 30 to 10 pm when things cooled off
