Trying to see who has the best technique for launching with slicks and Dot radial drag tires. Give us your launch RPM, 60 ft times. and ET Top speed.

 

With slicks- 6500 RPM, clutch fully engaged by ~10 feet out. 1.73 sixty foot.

 

with DR's. 3800rpm, slightly slipping the clutch out of the hole. 1.92 60 foot

 

Slicks 4500 dump the clutch(stock clutch by the way), 1.89 60 with a 12.2 at 112.xx

 

Sounds good what kind of wheels and slicks are you running ?

How far does the rpm drop once your fully hooked up ?

Your car is built almost exactly like mine. 09 SS TC Yellow Aem intake, Dejon Cp, Hahn Catted Downpipe , Jennetty 3 inch exhaust, Hurst short throw, Engalls Stiffy, Ott Mounts , Trifecta Dual Tune

 

Centerline Storms, Mickey Thompson ET drags.

I don't remember exactly, but I think it drops to around 4500-5000 RPM.

 

Sub'd.

I really want to cut off one more tenth before I boost it.

 

Is that with brembos still installed?

 

No..

 

sub so what the best rpm on a lsj lol

 

1.85 60ft
It was around 5,000rpm
yes stock brembos

 

Correct. No LNF Brembos.

 

****I was on the bick slick 17" rim

 

hey mongo what is your best 60 so far on the DR's??

 

I'm in for the same info

 

x2 ^^

 

What do you think the risk of snapping the axles are on 2.2 cobalts?

 

There is no best rpm. It depends on the cars setup, tune, track, tire, weather, alot of things. You just have to practice with different styles and techniques till you get it figured out. You can't even stay at the same rpm run to run or day to day, things will always be changing minute to minute. There's been times I have had to lower tire pressure in the staging lanes because someone broke down. Usually after that the track won't hook as good for a bit till it gets more rubber down, unless they spray vht, then your good.

 

Slicks, 5500-6500 depending on track, slip the clutch just until the cars starts to roll, then full engagement. Best 60ft no wheelie bar 1.68, best with 1.59

 

Bumb for later : )
