your tires are whats holding you back. Get a set of ET Street or ET Drag, rev it up to about 4500 or more depending on how good the track hooks, at the last yellow floor it and lift up on the clutch as fast as you possibly can. if it deadhooks you might yank a wheel or two, very cool <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

On a little side note, how loud is your B&B with the macs/ORP ?

ok....so your saying on the yellow light floor the gas,then on green dump and go right.
SIDE NOTE,the b&b and macs are not as loud as i thought it would be. infact,my mustang w/flomasters off roads and 1.58 headers is louder.

thanks mike c.,

Dont wait till green to go , that will put you in the 1 second reaction time range. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Here's something else, which clutch are you running, maybe I missed it. Do you have a line-lock? Heating the clutch up too much trying to do burn outs or "til it grabs" kills 60's.
Line lock, ET streets, 26x11.5 since you have the 12 bolt.
I have a heavy (3750 lbs.)M6 vert, with just about the same mods. If you have a good after market clutch, hold it @4500-5500 rpm depending on the track, clutch on the floor, don't heat it. On the last yellow lift off the clutch, again how fast and how hard depends on the track that day and how big your "fella's" are, nail the gas and your gone. Listen for the bog or spin and adjust for conditions. If you wait to the see green, your late. It works for me.

I too missed your clutch type.

My setup is very similar to yours. I launch off of a 6600 rpm rev-limiter with a clutch dump. This nets me 1.59-1.60 pretty consistently. If I launch at lower RPM, my car bogs badly. If my rev-limiter was higher I would launch at an even higher rpm.

Good Luck
