Just currious as to really launch the 5.0 fox body really good????.. i had a hard time at the track tonight.. didnt really better my time tonight.. just was a one last time before i get my clutch put in thing.. the best i could get was a 2.414 60 ft time.. no mater how i launched it.. it would just spin.. i tried from 3000rpm to 2000 rpm... anything under 2 it would bog bad.,. anything above the tires would spin.. car is mostly stock.. just flow cat back, k&n CAI, bumped timming to 13 degrees... so i wouldnt think traction would be that big of a problem... but it really was.. any advice onthis would be greatly apreciated.

 

dont dump the clutch, easy off of it.

 

^^ don't dump it and invest in nice tires to get that 60 down

 

roll the clucth in 2nd gear in a stick at about 1800-2200 rpm, once you pass the 120 foot mark you should be all in. in an auto foot brake in first to 1100-1300 rpm and ease into it just after the 4th bulb darkens. get better tires as they will help you a great deal.

 

With BFG's Drag Radials......I leave @ 6000 RPM and pull down 1.65, 60 foot times.....oh I also have $4,000 in drag suspension too.....

 

could be to good for your drivetrain lol
put some 4cylinder springs on the rear

 

My whole suspension is set up.......fully adjustable 4-link, 8.8 rearend....with a Detriot Truetrack Locker, 3.73, Moser 31 spline axles....Lakewood drag shocks, Lakewood Drag Bags, 5 disc convert...with 5/8 studs......drive shaft loop..........yada yada...on a fully World Class T-5 tranny......more than 150......6000 RPM launchs...and nothing in the drive train has broken yet.......

 

dont dump the clutch... get it to about 2500 at first, and slip it.. dont dump it you will spinnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!

 

I was dumping my BFG's at 3500 on the street. Twisted the crap out of my Control arms though. Thats why I had to invest into a decent rear suspension.

 

i dump it from 2500-3000 depending on the road with some yokohomas
