Default to much or not enough

ok so I went to the track last night , the best I could do was a 15.054 @ 94.4 MPH. [:'(]I can't get the car to launch at all. It will either bog out or spin the tires, and seeming that the "awesome " limited slip isn't really working I don't think I'll ever have good launches. sigh. 2300 RPM and less it bogs and 2300 and more it spins.

hmm...your 60ft isn't too bad...if you can get it down to 2.00, that would help alot.

But those gears are holding your car back...ALOT. If you get the 60ft lower, I think you can make it into the 14's. The PI swap should have put you into the high 14's. I think it's just the gears. A set of higher gears will getyou to the 60ft in much less time. Good luck!

Stop trying to "launch" with street tires. Ride the clutch just a tad longer as so not to let the car bog out.
