I would try to get that 60' down. What tires are you running? ET streets would help if you don't already have them. Any traction aids? If you can get your 60' down to 1.7 or 1.6 you should be in the 10s. Also is your car full weight?

n2o off the line would only make things worse. You need traction! Hook up and you got a lot of potential!

128mph isnt bad for your first pass out imo. 6 speeds & turbos are tricky from a stop. Thats why i went 4L80e this time around.

Agree traction is number one and that 60ft is not good.What tires do you have?
You might want to try lingenfelter 2 step. It will make you consistent and should help you build boost on the line. They also think have antilag option you can try with the newest 2 step versions. I bought one but my car is still not happening just yet.

Agree you should be able to hit 10s with good 60fts. That 2 step is pretty reasonable in price but they say it will kill cats.

Practice practice practice. How much do you race? 6 speeds are tough to begin with. Add boost and that's another variable. It's amazing how some seat time will help out. You need traction, suspension and the !driver mod. You're car has the power now you just have to use it. Good luck and have fun.

you guys have it all wrong the car hooks hard it just bogs bad even at 5000 drop i think my tune down low has something to do with it
i ran 60psi of fuel and 60lb injectors we cant get it to lean out so i think ill but in a FPR with a return and turn the PSI down to 50psi and re-tune
there is vid at motorgen.com its under L.A. inv.
for tires i run et drags

An m6 don't really build boost off the line so that might be your bog. You can bulid boost with two step and antilag. Lingenfelter unit should work good for you. only 250 or so not that pricey and supposed to be easy to install. I wish could give you report of how it works in my car but still month or more away on my car. Your tune could be whacked..really rich would bog it out for sure. They should spool up pretty fast depending on your compression. I am hoping for like full spool by 3500 with my 408 and 9.5 to 1 compression. I will likely used some spray to also spool them up most likely small 75 shot or so. And interested to see how the anitlag that they have in their newest two steps is going to work. Works good on my talons.

Pics look good and your times are not bad. With a good 60ft you should be way down and easily in the 10s. But if you can't build boost at the line its hard to get a good 60ft from turbo lag. Even leaving at 5 or so psi is big help. I am trying to stay with an m6 for at least this season but may go to 4l80e next season. I am also a bit unsure how my tex twin will stand up. Some say it will be ok and APS said they went thru a few tex twins. I won't pay another grand for their triple might try spec twin but auto is starting to make more sense. A good stall and away you go. Much more consistent but not as much fun sometimes. Or you could get full manual valve body in your trans I guess.
Be watching your progress. Its so hard to wait on my car but engine has to get here first.

it could very well be your tune, have you had it checked out yet?

I always try the simplest things first, like a boost leak test, that will tell you a lot.

if the LPE studder box does what it claims then that will get you off the line.
If it works like I'm thinking, you should be able to flat shift with it too, if you wanted to. I haven't seen any results on the LPE unit and I think its been out a while...

I would think with that dyno number his trap would be around 130 131 mph, but it is TWIN...
