Default problems at the track

ok i had some problems maybe u guys can help me. i have the following mods on my sig. so we went to the track on wed. so i ran three times.
13.40 with 100 shot nitrous. bad spin all first and second im auto. my 60 foot was 2.2
second run was all motor. 13.44 with 2.0 60 foot.
last run with nitrous 13.5 with 2.2 60 foot.
i was not hooking for nothing im on mt dr.
what else can i do to my car to actually hit 12. i no my car is capable but me spinning was not helping. i was warming up my tires real good. tire pressure 17.
everyone was blaming the track though but still as soon as nitrous hits i spin real bad

air down a little lower, and get them HOT. are they new DRs? if so that initial burn out needs to be huge to get them to start hooking better.

other then that control arms etc

Wow that is super bad. Track sounded bad but that's not the only thing at fault. Drop the M/Ts to like 10 PSI before the burnout. We're you rolling off idle or the converter?

Mind posting your MPH and 1/8th mile ET/MPH?

Get some lower control arms, that will help you plant. Also, what PSI were your tires at. I start at about 20 psi and work my way down, not going be low 15 psi. My BFG drag radials hooked much better my second time at the track with them, guess they needed to wear in a bit. Also, how long is your burnout. You want a good 5-7 seconds to make sure they are hot.

wow something is deffinatly wrong there. try running them at around 12-13 psi and heat them up real good. not to familiar with the autos but u should definatly be cuttin a better 60 then a 2.2 on the mickeys. hows ur bottle pressure? was the bottle almost empty? try to run at atleast 900psi on the bottle. do u have a window switch ? whats it set at if u do

So. you ran 1 N/A Pass and you did better than ALl THree of your Nitrous Passes??? I dont think its the Track fault. 13.4 isnt a bad time N/A. 60ft's detinately need some work.

control arms are your best bet to hook them up better. or try to take some weight off the front end like moving the battery to the back. try the AC compressor delete. that is suppose to take off close to 60 lbs

I'd say the track was prepped pretty good if you were getting 13.4 all motor.You just need some suspension work.You can expect just tires to hold up to nirous.
