Default Went to the 1/8th, it was sad haha.

I ran at the fun night last night. It was pretty pathetic. They don't prep the track for **** on the fun nights, so launching is a task with street tires and I proved it with my times.

I only ran twice, the first time I got sideways in second and shut down early so the time was nasty.... My second run was better...but not good.

2.39 60ft

8.9 @ 84mph..

Lol, I figured I'd let you guys know what I ran even though it was **** poor..

Question: Why are you only using street tires on an LE2 setup?

seat time. practice practice practice. if they don't prep it, it should be just like launching on the street, so you should have no problem getting to learn it

You need some tires and some more seat time. Your mph isn't great either. Where are you shifting at?

I know I need more practice, definately. I was shifting at 6200 or 6300.. I wasn't very impressed with mph either. I have raced from a roll and walked an srt4 that runs 8.30's and a z28 lt1 that run's 8.20's so it has the power, i just need to learn to drive it! haha.

You need traction (i.e - suspension, DR's)

And seat time always helps too.. that obviously has a lot of power with the LE setup but it needs to be put to use and put on the ground

My car bone stock ran a 9.0 in the 1/8th... so I'd hope yours would ATLEAST do like 7's with that LE2 setup
