I suually get 1.60-1.65 on my BFG 315 drag radials and I really haven't learned how to launch on them.

Try adding air to your tires. You may have them under inflated and they could be cupping on you reducing your contact patch.

Do you disconnect the front swaybar at the track for better weight transfer? LCA's can reduce some slop also in the rear.

11PSI <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> i wouldnt go below 18PSI <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

if you want to run 11PSI get ET STREETS... also since you have heads/cam you will need et streets..

but for a Piece of mind i cut a 1.58 on 245/16's nittos stock internally/NA <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

some of my friends are cutting 1.58-1.62 on BFG's also but they run 18-22PSI. Also try rolling into the throttle! there is always a happy medium sweet spot <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

its just a good stall that gets the awesome 60's. Plus practice, practice. I think im one of the top 3 stock internal 60's on nittos online <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

with the 2800 stall i only saw 1.80's
went to the vig3600 and saw 1.70's and with 1-2 years of practice i dropped to 1.58 to 1.62's on average

if your spinning,no matter how much power you have your 60 and et's will suck. I leave right above idle and roll into the throttle. Alot of NA stock guys are cutting 1.52-1.58's but they run et streets and a yank 4400.

it sounds like a plan im used to my old chevelle with slicks just hammer down make sense on what you say about air psi and rolling into the throttle trying to get to the track weather is making it ruff need to get back there for a piece of mind thanks for the advice
