sorry about the caps lol. im just guessing but i think my 60 foot times were like 2.3 or something. if that sounds right. hope that helps. i will find my slips if you really need them to help me out. thanks again

 

2.3=needs help. if you get down to <2.0 you will be doiing just fine.

 

With BFG's you should be able to pull 1.9's fairly easily, which would drop .8 seconds off your ET and whould put you at 13.2, which sounds about right for what you've done.

 

thanks for the help you all. im def going to get those soon then. when i go up and run it ill be sure to report back,.

 

LOL !!! Well lowering you tire pressure wont hurt ur MPH unless they are flat!When you spin you get faster MPH so when you give up some spin your mph will drop. The 13.2 sounds right. So go get some tires and practice your launches on the street before you get new tires.

 

Even with the stock gears my mach will spin from a slow roll and it can be tricky launching without too much wheelspin. With 4:10s and considering your mach prolly has close to 350 bl/ft of tq, traction is going to be almost impossbile to come by on the stock gatorbacks.

 

try this before you go onto the track again. go somewhere that you can lay some tracks without attracking a lot of attention in the daylight. then lower your tire pressure to 24 and do a launch as best you can. go back and look at the tire marks, if they're heavier in the center than on the edges, then let out some more air and keep doing this until the marks you leave look fairly even. then next time at the track, try this tire pressure while feathering the clutch off the line and see if this doesn't help you some.
also very important, if you are doing a burnout, don't spin your tires in the water, just slowly pull through the main water and get in front of it, then do your burnout. spinning the tires in the water just throws a lot of water up in the wheelwells that will drip back down on the tires and track at the line causing even more slippage!

 

I had the same problem. I was awful at "slipping the clutch' or "walking it out past the tree" I have been racing for many years and when the lights go its a reflel. Get some BFG drag radials and depending on the ambient temperature go as low as 12-13 LBs and you will hook like a MF. I am getting 1.80 60 foots and thats what its all about, your car will scream!

 

i will def try the tire pressure thing. but here is the way i think. i want to get the best time i can the way my car will be on the street. if im gettin into a street race at a light i cant get out and lower my tire pressure. y know what i mean? how fat i am on the track is how fast i want to be on the street. but i will def try your ideas. it would be cool to see what the fastest i culd run on the track even if its not what i would run on the street. thanks again you all

 

get yourself a nice set of sticky tires...
