What kind of tire do you have and how tall is the tire?

First with the UCA/LCAs and the DRs, your 60' times should be much better than 2.1. Second, if your around 4000rpm in 4th at 102mph, someone sent you the wrong gears.

no 5 speed and the guy i had install them showed me how to count it and calculate so i know its a 4.30. and for the 60 foot times i dont do a burn out. Ive never tired to do one in a manual and i don't think its a good idea to try it for first time in a place with people around. with my launch i would kick it out and panic and let go of brake or something haha so my 60 foot times are ****. So i gotta practice that before i go next.


and maybe its a little higher then 4 maybe 5 or so but it is not 6500 because my rev limiter is set at 6 and i dont hit that but im defiantly not like 5900. would say somewhere between 4800 5200

Well something is wrong with this, with 4.30's you would be at about 5900 in 4th gear @ 102 MPH. Even with 4.10's you would be around 56-5700, and with 3.73's you would be around 52-5300.

Did you let out some of your tire pressure before making the passes? Drag radials at normal driving pressure wont get you the best traction. And learn how to do a burnout! You don't need to roast the tires - just need to clean them off a bit.

You're afraid to do a burnout yet you want to spray nitrous? Seriously?

Not doing a burnout with DRs is the worst idea I have ever heard of. You drive thru the water, pop the clutch in 2nd and hold the brake... I was doing burnouts when I was like 5 on my pedal bike....

4.30s and stock rev limit on nitrous you are gong to be way into the limiter before the 1000' mark.. I think you need to rethink your setup before you go aiming for fast times
