awesome.... i ran my car with dunlops and cut a 1.74 on those.. dunlop 8000's 275/40/17's baby and pulled a 12.01 with stock heads...

thats a awesome 60 for a M6 car on DR's!! Keep it up and with your mph and slicks you will have some 11.6-7's in here no doubt! Congrats

You notice how I said "the car"? Whomever did the tune did a pretty good job.

I got my 2-step today so I should be able to dial it in enough to run consistent 11's.

very cool mike! i knew you could do it. also for those that dont know, this track doesnt hook well at all for MN6 cars. 1.9x is pretty much common for DR LS1s what rpm are you launching off at?

I think it's time for some ET Streets. That's nice mph. You could be well into the low 11's on a 1.5 60'.

I took off the ET streets because the stock rear won't hold many more 6,100 rpm launches. I went with drag radials so I can still have fun with it while I'm saving for my 12 bolt w/4:30's and a spool.

Congrats, that's a good 60 ft and looking at your mph tells me you're making some good hp.
