soo i cant get my 60' below 2.0 and it sucks, i have slicks, tried all kinds of tire pressures aswell as launches. car is also lowered. what can i buy/do to help with my 60'?

Also a big issue tonight, could NOT get a burnout going car would cutout soon as it spun for literally 1 second(not letting off the gas) and thats makin me angry lol did it with my slicks and my street tires. Tried removing abs fuse, resetting the pcm, and only going part throttle. Anyone have any ideas?

Stupid question but did you turn off your T/C. Possiblity your getting into the trans protection mode trying to do a burn out with the slicks. Could try getting blocks for the rear springs.

t/c was off, and have been putting some thought into blocks, anyother mods i can do?

Panther427

eliminate any extra weight in the trunk of the car. when racing. air up your rear tires.. have you flipped the rubber in your dogbone? Have you had it retuned since you got all your mods done. Might need to look into gettin some computer work done on the tranny. How did you launch to get your best 60 foot?

all weight was out, had the rear tires at max pressure, i havent done anythin with the dogbone, will that help traction? and i havent done any mods since i had a tune done, they tuned both computers.


I have mt etstreets 26x11.5 17

Suspension unloads too much for DRs or slicks (in some cases, and my experience) and actually hurts traction. The cutting out is your differential anti-score.

Wow, you lost a ton of mph. Were you in worse weather conditions than when you trapped 106?

Get some GTO spring blockers for the strip. They go in between the rear springs to limit sag and keep the front wheels planted better. That with drags and I bet you get very close to a 2.0 - 60' time.

alright, so OTHER than spring blockers and the cable mod, what else can i do?

Mgpeagle

iTrader: (6)

Not too much other than that. All poly mounts?...

Were you spinning on your runs?

Practice your launches more often? I ran a 13.6 with intake and exhaust. You should be running a lot faster. Intake and rockers alone is worth 20-30hp. That car has a lot more in it.

The intake and rockers are on his to do list.
