Reaction time shouldnt effect for ET at all. And yes your 60 ft should be a around 2.1. Do you think it was bogging in 1st or spinning?? And just because I'm surious, what was your best 1/8th mile time?
It's bracket racing so it does

Simply more proof (on top of the heaps already out there) that basic boltons do virtually nothing for a NPI car. With his 2.4 60's I would not expect to see anything but 15s.

If you get to low on a street tire it will bow up in the middle and cause problems. I dropped my buds LS1 tires down to around 25 PSI and it worked ALOT better than his stock 32 ish.

BTW, just because the tires say xxx max you don't want to put the max in, go with what it says in the manual/door sill.
What he said! Don't inflate your tires to what it says on the sidewall, that's the max! The numbers are on the inside of the glove box. What size tires are you running? If you're running 245s like I am with my basic tires, then you're supposed to be at 30psi.

Thanks for being so positive. Not sure if you meant to come off as an *** butyou did to me.

This Wednesday when we go back to finish up I should be able to pull off a .0XX R/T and hope to get my 60ft. down to 2.0 or 2.1. And again why my times are so bad is because it was my first time.

Yeah as said above it is bracket racing so my R/T time does count against me.

My best 1/8 mile was 9.73

doesnt mean you times will be lower. u can sit at the line for ten minutes and still get a 15sec pass. the clock starts when u leave the line but it does matter in who gets to the finish line first

I think he meant to say "Keep up the good work Johnny, you'll get 'em next time" our cars are slow, your times suck, even for these cars........ o well










































now thats being an ***........................ just practice, get some sticky tires, get those 60 fts down, and you'll dip in the 14's........good luck

I hope you actually paid attention to what 200GT4.6 and I said and deflated your tires before you have a blowout on the highway.

Edit: By the way, I lied and said I had 245s for some reason... I only have 225s, either way, they are both 30 PSI according to the sticker

Edit 2: Here's the sticker, sorry it's blurry, I took it really quick earlier:
