At least you know what wrong with it, which is a start. That 60' is terribad. Fix the tune and put a real tire on it and practice your launch to get your 60' way down, you're missing out on a LOT of tenths with that 1.9+ 60'.

Did you stall up against the brake and roll into it, or just flash the stall? My car ran quicker ET's flashing the stall, but the track had to be prepped very well. If track prep wasn't up to par, I would stall up standing on the brake and roll into it.

People make fun of auto cars for being self driving, but there is still a lot of technique that goes into a launch with an auto that makes some power.

Are you doing a good enough burnout? With that stall and dr's you should be at least 1.8's

Very well said i first tried to flash the stall didn't work out it fell flat on its face. So i stalled up and shift from 1st to 2nd... i was launching at 1500 rpms and yes that 60' is terrible but i was just starting to get the hang of it when they announced the staging lanes only had 10 minutes left i need to go back

You should have no problem getting well below a 1.9 with that get up.

Who tunes the car? Too rich on launch maybe? I'm a little skeptical of the tuner.

Another great example on why you make it run 11's with bolt-ons. Not trying to be a ***.
Says the guy who never ran his bolt on LS1 in the 11s.

Yep....cause my buddy blew it up before it got there. Not because it was not on it's way there. BTW.....What does my ls1 blowing up early 2002 have to do with today?? or the conversation we are having now?? Here we are over 12'yrs after my engine blew up.....Don't your stupid fat *** think people has learned anything in the past 12+ years??

BTW....you're not much faster than it was with your cam and all the other **** you have on your car. Hell I never even ran it on a dr and it went 12.6

I think your converter may be on the way out. You should be hitting 1.6s with that if the track is hooking. Start out powerbraking it at 1200 and floor it on last yellow.

Let the tire pressure down, do a good burnout. Do your burnout in 2nd and make sure you have good wheel speed. Stage the car, stand on the brakes, stall it up as high as you can and let that bitch eat.

All I see is crying - you didn't do it ever in your car, but it's oh so easy.
