Default Any tips for some better E.T's? (videos)

My best E.T to date is 13.8@ 101mph* and that was in 85-90 degree weather and 70% humidity.Since that run i put on a PP throttle body and some mufflers but i cant seem to duplicate that run. Yesterday it was 75 degrees with 23% humidity and the best i mustered up was a 14.028@ 99mph with a 2.12 60ft.(i got this E.T with a 4k launch i think) I really think the tires are too much for my power level so im going to run on street tires next time i go out. well here are the vids

Sounds you're spinning...although it's leaving so easy it's almost like you're bogging. Have you tried leaving any higher than 4k? If you're still dead hooking and just bogging, rev it higher and hope you don't break anything. What PSI are you running in the tires? What's the full slip?

3:27 gears? That maybe whats killing you with those sticky tires and your power level.

You shouldn't be able to spin those tires if you are warming them up properly.

That means a second gear burn out.

I'm not a fan of doing a second little jump after the burnout. Some are, I'm not.

My suggestion would be a different gear. Not sure about the new edge but something better than 3.27.

I also watched the burnout. One was about 10 seconds long and about 4 seconds longer than needed. The other not long enough.

A set of line locks will ensure you are consistant so you can try and have repeatable results.
