ET Drags = bog
Looking for suggestions. I was running 26x10.5 ET Streets, normally at about 12-13 psi and could manage 1.78-1.80 60foots when I dumped it at 5grand. Worked pretty well, but they were inconsistent in hooking and were 3 years old. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> When they wore out I decided to get myself some 26x10 ET DRAGS. Tried them out at US41 on Saturday. Well even at 17-18 psi, I would dump the clutch at 5grand and the car would BOG. Couldn't do better than a 1.85 'cause of that. Granted, I've only been to the track once with the new setup, but i'm looking for suggestions on a different way to launch/stage/setup whatever. Obviously one fix would be more gear/horsepower <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> , but my wallet won't allow that right now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

And to believe that you didnt believe me when I told you that the Drags would hook better. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />
How man runs did you get Alex? If you didnt get a chance to hotlap it a few times while adj. the pressure, Id wait till we can go again.

25 psi with a good burnout and a 6Krpm launch <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Lift straight off the clutch as fast as you can and floor the gas at the same time <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Less shock on the drivetrain, and you wont bog like sidestepping either <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Cheers,

I only got 4 or 5 runs in, but only got 2 good runs 'cause the other times I got in the burnout box sideways. <img border="0" alt="[Banging Head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> First and best run was a 12.69 @ 110.3 (1.85 60').
