[QUOTE=2 Stroke Racer;17871179]My cars not super sophisticated, it's just a bone stock ls1 with a cam and 150 shot.
Oh and it's a 6 speed car. I just keep playing with shocks, LCA angles, etc and figure it out along the way. Just some off the shelf BMR parts. Got it going consistent mid 1.3's.
Don't think I can do much better without more HP. Here's a slo-mo video. I'm open for suggestions if it can be better.
just curious 2 Stroke Racer what rpm r u launching at, car looks great I am envious

It depends on the track. That video was from the LSX shootout in Indy.
I think I was launching around 5500 leaving on the full 150 hit.
Import vs Domestic at MIR I was leaving at 6000.
That's with a quick slip of the clutch, not just a dump. Took awhile to
Get the slip just right. But I've got it really consistent my last 20 or so
Launches were all mid 1.3's.
Not as good tracks I lower the launch a bit and loosen up the front shocks.
Doesn't leave as smooth, but still gets similar 60'
