ET advice What is a general et for a 2000 Z28 m6 w/ 330rwhp, 342 rwtq on bolt ons, stock 3.42 gears, no weight reduction, and street tires. Im consistently getting 13.3 @ 105/106. Am I pretty much on target or am I running too slow for my car? My best rt is .211, I just need to know if I am doing good or if I need serious work with technique
Reaction time has nothing to do with ET, that starts when your front tire breaks the beam. As far as what you say your car makes at the rear tire that would be on the slow side. My car 100% stock ran a 13.3 @ 106 back in 1998, those would dyno maybe 290rwhp on a good day.
I would think your car should go maybe high 12's around 108 or 109mph or more with 330rwhp. Street tires and stock gears will be your biggest limiting factors on dropping the ET.

So should I be running High 12's w/ the street tires & stock gears?
What is the most favorable launch technique for a car w/ my setup? remember I have an OEM clutch too, for now anyway.

Can you help me out with some advice on launch techniques then because I am almost certian thats where I am losing it, My best 60' is a 2.061, I drop the rear tires to about 19-20 psi and am ridind the clutch out just a tad (OEM clutch) between 4500 to 5000rpm. I get just a little wheel spin and dont bogg out. Where can I improve?
