Default Average 60' where you start pulling the wheels

What is the average 60' where most A4 guys begin to pull both wheels a couple of inches?

I guess it depends on your stall and power out of the hole.I have a 3000 vig. and 1.54 60's I've pulled the driver side with a 1.63 60' with about
540 rwh.Now i replaced my shocks with Qa1s and the
car pulls equal hight on both sides about 3 inches
It leaves hard as jet on four wheels with t-tops. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

on some of my 1.60's i think i got a inch.

im waiting to get my vid of my 1.58 60 from a friend, but it damn sure felt like the drivers side came up big time. Still I think its only 2-3 inches if that. some pull wheelies on 1.66's, it just depends on your shocks and setup

I've been able to pull the front tires with a measley 1.72 60' my best 60' is 1.57 and that really yanks em' up there. Oh yeah the car is a M6 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I have some pics on my webpage with air under the tires. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

6-speeds tend to do it with low 1.7X 60' times. A4s tend to do it with mid 1.6X range times. The M6 cars just hit harder, thats why.

Ive seen A4s get air with a 1.7x 60ft. I can cut 1.6x pretty consistently but I have no pics. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Last year my best ET was an 11.28 @ 120.6 and I pulled consistant 1.57-1.61 60' on a set of Hoosier 27 x 11.5 15 QTP.

I never ONCE got the wheels off the ground. All stock IROC suspension though so Im sure that has something to do with it. I did some lightening on the front end over the winter and added some 90/10's up front so that should change all of that.

Oh yeah and adding probably another 200+hp to the car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I cut 1.51 and higher with my car, and right now anything 1.64 or better hangs the hoops.

My car was tugging them with 1500 miles on the OD <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Take one 2001 Formula, add little more than a Yank TP-4400 and ET Streets. Presto, 1.62 60ft's and wheels up <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Default Re: Average 60' where you start pulling the wheels

Question - does pulling the front wheels/tires affect the trap lights? I was told by a friend that with his rail/dragster, if he pulls the wheels it will screw up his time. Makes sense - since you're not rolling through the lights.. Thoughts?
