8.74 run..

Notice how the car kinda bounces out of the hole a couple times... whats up with that? I have bbk springs and factory shocks
Any tips or advice would be appreciated

RE: 8.74 run..
Well I actually was running 16 lb of air in them. I was leaving at about 3200 er so I had a tuner issue that wouldn't let my 2 step rev limit go over 3500.
I was running 16 lb of air just because I was nervous.. first time out on slicks. I didn't know how they was going to act so I thought I had rather them spin a little than leave parts out on the track.
We were planning on going back tomar but the weather is crappy so don't guess we will.
This next time I plan to heat the tires up more, lower the psi. in the tires, and leave at about 4-5000 rpms and hope for the best

So a 1.8 60 ft time is bad?

Your 60 is really bad. Looks like the tires didnt even hook well.Try staling it about 1800 RPM then launch

Hold on a sec, your on slicks or the ET street drag radials?
If they are the drag radials they can definatly go faster but a 1.8 isn't that bad with a 3500 RPM launch.
If you go out and do a 5000 RPM clutch dump with even ET streets heated properly on a good track... your 60' time is probably going to be infinite, as your going to break the spider gear.
