what is stopping me form breaking under 2.0 60ft
ok im seeing people left and right get sub 2.0 60fts in stock form. so why cant I i ran 2.0 stock and yet after my mods and.5 tenths quicker than stock i still cannot break under 2.0 60ft.
and this is with no wheel spin gas pedal floored. with et streets. i was told by a friend at the track the PCM is cutting power because of the strain the ET streets are causing. is this true? i was dynotuned but i never had the TQ management reduced.
i know im faster than 13. but my 60fts are keeping me from breaking 12's.
i tried revving around 2k holding the break. and just punching off the line.
2.0 60ft after 60ft. and everyone one would all be within 2.01 to 2.05ish

Tire size? and the stock converter is at 1800 i dont see how you could ever powerbreak to 2000, when i was stock, if my tach hit 1600 rpm my car was either spinning the tires or moving foward. WHen i was stock my best 60 foot was a 2.04. ALot of your mods dont help as much down low (very low rpm and first 60 feet) as they do up top.

i have stock converter but i can rev higher than 1800 easy. wether or not it tries to apply that power i dunno. i have no wheel spin. and i could get 2.0 60ft with my fuzion zri tires also. reason i cant understand why i cant break under 2.0 with ET streets. i weighed them and the et streets + lt1 rims were lighter than the stock rim/tires i had on. so it cant be from added weight.
which i know my mods are more topend related. but still i dynoed 334 rwhp. and 348 tq i think it was. i should be able to break under 2.0 60ft Especially if with my ET streets their is no wheel spin and i have the pedal floored.
how much power does the TQ management hold back whenever im pushing more than what it allows? i know ive heard many times before that alot of people when dynotuned reduce or remove tq management.

I cut 2.0 60 foots consistently, and a big part of it is stock gearing (3.23), a mile tune and stock converter. Change any of the above with a good tire and you'll have the 1.9x range, which I can get in good air but most of the time am around 2.00-2.05.

I was stuck exactly like you With a best of 13.06 @ 106 1.98 60ft. Nothing I could do would make it any quicker, no wheelspin just lack of power to go any faster. Change your torque converter and it WILL move if you can find traction. But believe me, you will develop a serious traction problem on street tires.

With just a lid and cutout I pulled 1.77 on stock converter with 2:73s with bfg drag radials. You probably have too much tire, have you tried just flashing the converter off the line?

Best I have cut personally is a 2.0 on a stock converter, A friend of mine with a turbo TA cut a 1.8x on a stock converter last year with 18" BFG DR's.
Get a 3000+ converter and report back with your sub 1.7 60'

ah well yall make me feel better then. i hate seeing people post their 1.9 to 1.8 and im not seeing any converter mods or such.
now that i think. i dont know if i ever tried just flashing it off the line at no idle.
and i know eveyrone says go get a converter. but most of us do like getting good gas mileage. and cant afford to beef up a transmission or get a new one. and though a aftermarket converter is healthier for a tranny/gear in Normal driving. they will also shred a tranny in half the time putting alot more stress on them at the track.
and getting a stall and think breaking my tranny right after would just suck big time. if i did get a stall it would be nothing over 3000. this is and probly for a long time will be my daily driver + 4-5 hour drives. so i wouldnt want anything higher than a 3000 stall.

you guys are funny
It's called staging and mashing the pedal
When I stalled it to 1800 I would hit 1.9s
I always get called out on my posts its hilarious. The car dynoed 285 RWHP, was never tuned. I guess I'm just lucky

i guess. can having no x-brace hurt me also? when i installed the TSP dual exhaust. its impossible to have with the x-brace intact so we removed it. do that effect launching in such a way that would hurt my 60ft?
