Hell, I'd bet $50 I could go faster to the 60' in your car than you can. I went 1.77 on radials in my car a few times, again with 50 less horsepower and 800 more pounds. But sure, I'll take lessons from the guy stuck in the 11s for 15 years.

IMO something is still up with your car...to be blunt high 1.7s is a terrible 60' for a cammed LS on slicks. It shouldn't be bogging with a 5.5k RPM launch unless you had the tires nearly flat and your car makes no TQ down low.

My LT1 cut the same 60' as you 10 years ago with just a high school budget bolt-on setup and drag radials and ran 12.8s...still had stock 3.23 gears and a tiny 3200 stall. Only made 300rwhp lmao. Not even gonna bring up the H/C times...

Have you data logged it at the track? Maybe it is pulling timing down low or something causing the bottom end to be soft? Your trap isn't terrible for your weight and rwhp, but your TQ curve may be off since it just can't get moving. IMO you also have way too much tire for your car. With your hp and gearing you should be easily 60'ing on a 275 drag radial. No need for a big slick with sub 400rwhp and 3.89s

I forgot already, does anyone remember the score to last year's Super Bowl?

Wish I would've been able to get another run and dump it at 6k but way too many cars already lined up at 4:30.

First run was basically to break in the slicks...second run I had adjusted the MC because it was too close to the floor and I think I was letting off too slow and it wasn't hitting the tires, and the next runs 5k and 5.5k launches bogged off the line (1.78 60s). Gonna be good at our fall Dragging Rights and I might have to limiter dump it with how sticky that track is going to be! Lol. Last two runs, nearly identical (5k and 5.5k clutch drops). I think because the car is so heavy it really likes the stiff sidewall, so we'll see what happens when I can throw more at it.

Stiff sidewalls should always used on cars over 3k lbs. I always come out too high and lower the rpms to what works vs coming out too low and raising rpms. Everyone is different.

But you're consistent. Any vids of the car launching? I'm wondering if the right rear is squatting.

Guitar, you should try and lighten the car up as much as you can for Dragging Rights. Add some air to the slicks to help them slip a little off the launch. I agree that you have way too much tire. Especially if you are running a 28" tall tire, its not helping. A nice 275/50/15 DR would work well for your car imo. Gives you more of a gearing advantage with a shorter tire, and plenty of tread.

Where does his car make peak torque? If he hits the tires at 5500 it might pull the rpms down to what 3500 maybe? I do know that on my old motor peak torque was 4200-5300 and I would come out no lower than 6600. So the tires would pull the rpms down to about 4500 which was right in the meat of the torque. So maybe the solution for him is just more rpms.

The cheating things cracks me up. The Pats were made an example of because everybody hates how good they are. If you don't think other teams scouted practices, too, you're dumber than I thought. Not saying it's right, but it's not Pats specific.
