I seem to get decent 60's (2.3's) launching at 2K

but I don't think I'm leaving the line aggressively enough...any higher than that though seems to result in wheel spin

Drop the clutch at 6500rpm, run out each gear to 7800rpm, cut 1.7 60's all day like a boss.

Thats my method...seriously.


Obviously that won't work for you, so just follow what those guys said above, good advice there!

not one of my best runs. but i was able to catch a video of one of my better launches on street tires. this was on a 215/45 kuhmo exsta spt. good example of how to lightly slip the clutch and then get in to it. don't mind the missed shift lol

Well, tonight sucked at the track. I either bogged out or spun with my launches from 2k all the way up to 4k..tire psi was at 27psi and the track was super sticky because they kept spraying down some super glue-like stuff...lol
Weather was 72* and 92% humidity....
I ran a best of(my first run) 13.2 @ 107 with a 2.06 60ft...booooo...the rest os the night was 13.4-14 @ 106-107mph...so, i guess i dont have a 12 second car like i thought.

my trap speed is garbage, i dont think i have the power that i was thinking i had..people with a 24psi tune are trapping like 110-114. i struggled to get 107...dunno..my clutch started to slip in third a little on my way home, so maybe its gonna take a dump on me too...

No, I'm sure your car has the capabilites. The humidity is part of it. But my guy trapped a 117-118..

trapping 118mph is good for like a 12.2 normally, but still an awesome trap and speed...trap speed normally tells the horespower, and im obviously not as high as i thought...lol

my 60ft was a 2.0 and my 1/8th was a 8.6 and i still couldnt get better than a 13.2 @ 107
..the rest of my runs were much worse after my first run because of the car bogging out.
I hear if you have the high rise, it lowers your trap about 2mph than what it should be, but still dissapointed in my trap...since my redline is stock 6200, i have to shift in 4th before the finish about 100-150ft...

oh, 1/4 tank of gas too
