What elevation is the track at?

It must be high because I've gotten a 10.1 in my 2.2 with a few bolt ons.

from what i have SEEN (i haven't driven one at the track) you can't really launch it, if your at a newer track that isn't sticky you have to go off idle or your screwed, if your at a sticky track.....Don't break an axle!

even with fresh vht on the track i was spinning so bad. i tried launching at about 3000 rmp and that didn't work,tried at idle as well and was slow as hell.

any suggestions on how to inprove my times?.

I went 8.7 in the 1/8th on slicks, stock pulley. 2.0 60ft. Should be able to pull a 8.5/4 when I get back, I only got one good track day in with the slicks.

yea, you def. need to practice bro. you need to try leaving off idle and just get a feel for it. mounts and dr's need to be on your list of things to buy as well.
