depends on your setup...when i was i/h/e i'd launch fairly high like around 4800-5000 rpms on kumhos. With boost i can only launch about 3000-3200 or i spin through 1st and second. Just try and launch about 4500 with the clutch halfway out but right before the friction point. Then let the clutch out slowly and when it looks up give it gas and let off the clutch. The key is to do everything in small increments, if you stomp/dump you'll always be stuck with a 2.3+ 60 foot.

 

thanks i guess i'm goin to work on that around town.....if y'all can think of any other ideas to help me out without spending any money let me know.

 

make sure your a/c is off and your heater is blowing on high between runs, take out your spare/jack/sub if you have one. The front passenger seat is also really easy to take out, it's 4 bolts.

 

Hey, I'm just point out the obvious. :thumbup:

And at that, how the hell are you guys pulling anything lower than a 2.2? I start to get massive wheelhop as soon as I start dumping anything higher than a 2500 rpm.

 

keyword....dumping


you can't dump the clutch, you have to let it out slowly while you give it gas until you hook up. If you rev and dump you're just gonna hop all the way down the track. Also if you're wheel hopping you need to check your tire pressure

 

yeah that 15.950 that i ran was with everything like i would drive around town with nothing taking out but my sub and its box and i think that i need to let some air out of my tires and that will help alot

 

you'd be surprised how much difference a spare/jack/front seat would make. Theoretically it's only 1 car every 100 pounds but it makes it so much easier to launch with less weight in the car imo. Try dropping street tires to about 21 psi at first...i couldnt' run anything better than a 2.25 on my street tire pressure, it makes all the difference.

 

so what do you think a 88.05 speed with a good launch will do in the 1/4 mile??

 

ummm i'm not too sure i'm guessing maybe a high 15?

 

i think it should be like a 15.6 cause i ran a 15.9 with a bad 60 ft time...but i dunno if i get better off the launch i should be alot fast...i think that i just need to get new tires and let some air out and i'll be runnin good
