Default Advice on getting out of the hole

went to the track this past week and felt good about the car other than my launch. I would try to get it off the line but it always seemed to bogg no matter if I launched at 2K or 3K, I am running stock F1's but the track was very sticky-

Any help is greatly appreciated, I know even with me driving it should break into the 11's but the best I could do was a 12.38 at 116.71-60 ft was 2.093

best advice would be to get some real tires...with that mph you should easily be able tor un mid 11's with traction...if you plan on staying with the F1's I'd assume youd just have to learn how to slip the clutch more out of the hole...not the best thing for your clutch life though lol

thanks for the feed back..

I just watched the video of 2 of my runs and it sounds like they barely spin off the line but more so when I shift into 2nd, I am contemplating on the gm performance parts heads that are cnc'ed from LPE or going with a 3.73 rear gear for my next upgrade.

I think the BFG drag radials will come soon enough..

I'd try to step your launch up to maybe 3500, because I've found that it's better to spin a little then to bog a little.
