Thanks! After that night, traction is non-existent. Hopefully a nice burnout to smooth out the surface of the tires can bring some life back into them. They are only like 2 months old. Mostly just street miles on them. I did haze them on a 1st gear pull and I think that's when they lost their ability to hold some power. Would suck to have to keep buying tires every 2 months and drive the car less on the street.

It doesn't change anything, that is the actual time. Slope is monitored so it doesn't count if excessive
It is all about the power management, without it you aren't going to do much
The Mickey's are too soft and get tore up and then are marbles until a burnout. I've been through a set of ET-R in 2 weeks
The nittos are the go too, last forever and never ball so always consistent. And take big power if you know how to use them
This is me on a 26" 275 nitto 555r.

Kinda what I was wondering, doesn't seemed like it was matted. Almost seemed like a roll on, traction control, or a fairly slow ramp.

I ran a couple 6.6x's @ ~108 at trash days. First 3 runs were all 1.5x 60fts then a 1.71 in the final.... Did another 6.6x last weekend while hitting overboost (forgot to turn that up haha), same spot as trash days. For everyone else but the op, this is a concrete road that hooks extremely well. I usually run low 7's on a **** surface. Swapped fc rx7, t56 and turbo 5.3 on ~20lbs. Anyone else have 1/8th mile times?
One day I'll start trying the 60-130 stuff again.

Some V-box data from tonight:
Back to the street for some data. I loaded the street tune back in and modified a few things and went looking to get that official 3.
I was only going to test some 60-100's to really dial that in, but it got the best of me when I got out to the backroads.
Tuneup: I kept having issues right around that 60mph mark and decided to ease back on the boost a bit. But I threw a fair amount up top.
The first hit, It destroyed the tires but ended up pulling pretty hard. Settled for a 4.45 60-130 and a 3.01 100-150!!
Once again, my Dominator isn't working worth the **** and didn't get a datalog. Extremely frustrating trying to adjust when not being able to see the information.
I went back to the boost curve and delayed even more. Have it set on wastegate all the way to 80mph before bringing more boost in.
I also tried to partial throttle to keep things under control. It netted a 4.11 60-130 and a 3.22 100-150.
I thought what the hell, let's try the same tuneup and just keep it metaled. And it worked!!!
Ripped to a 3.91 60-130 and a 3.04 100-150! Busted through that barrier and got my first 3 on the street. I know there is plenty more to improve on the 60-100 as well as I can throw some more boost on top.
The good ole Nittos did work tonight!
I was pretty happy with the results from only having 7 60-130 hits this year on the street. It is pretty awesome how much data is there when you really dig into it.
