Default why doesnt my car 60' ?? video

1.68 60' , then a 1.65 60'

what is the prob with my car getting off the line? spraying out of the whole with all the susp components only yields a 1.65?

shocks?

it pulled the wheels a little on this one but i think it bogged and it made a 1.72 60'

What shocks are on the car now? It seems like it's bogging, what rpm are you launching at? Is there any delay on the nitrous delivery?

it really sounds like its bogging alot. But even with the cam only u should be cutting better than that. I think id try some higher rpm dumps. there are a bunch of guys around here scared of it. Mines an a4. but if I had a m6 it would lave close to the rev limmiter. there's 1 cobra with a 8.8 swap. brags about leaving at 5500. I tell him to rev it up. but he's scared to break it. lol

stock shocks, mt et drag 28", 423 na and 570 on the bottle. there is no delay in the n2o delivery (or at least there shouldnt be) and i was leaving at about 5k rpms and then flooring it to activate the n2o. on the last vid, the n2o was not on when the front end dropped, there was a prob somewhere. i think maybe the bog caused it to fall out of the n2o window. on the first two, the n2o was def on off the line. spinning off the line and then hooking soon after.

Bogging bad. Gotta get that worked out. You have a window switch? You may be bogging so bad that it's cutting off your spray.

i think thats whats happening. the window switch is set to 3k and i dont really wanna go any lower. more air pressure? that doesnt seem like it would help though as it is spinning sometimes and bogging other times

the tires were at 16psi hot fyi

drop the pressure to around 13psi hot, do a good burnout in 2nd gear, leave at 5500, and look into purchasing some adjustable rear shocks, do you have a Torque arm? LCA's? Heavy duty sway bar?

try to finesse the car a little. instead of just "dumping" the clutch, ride it our really hard/fast. just enough for it to start moving forward before it gets "all" of the shock at one time.

I agree, hahaha

Adjustable shocks, lower the air pressure a lil, you could probably run safely down to 13 maybe 12 psi you go enough MPH to make the tires grow..
