Good luck, and low 15's in a 6 cylinder ain't bad.

I don't really know this to be true, but I've heard it from 2 people who have 10 ten second cars and spend a LOT of time at the track, so I believe them.

Not really but the launch is the most important part of the game. If all else fails get a set of Drag radial or a set of cheap wheels with slicks on them. What RPM do you leave at and whats your launch techneque?

60'. 1/10 on the small end yeilds 2/10 - 3/10 on the big end. A 2.0 60' will drop your times by roughly 6/10 -9/10.
Good luck.

As an example my car has run a 14.110 @ 102.7 mph on a 2.400 60'and 13.495 @ 103.31 on a 2.031 60' on the same night.
In otherwords I picked up0.16667 inthe 1/4 for every 0.10 in the 60'. Stilla 2.00wouldpick him up around 0.500 of a second.
For those who dont understand how you could leve the 60' with close to the same speed note the trap speeds on my 14.11 /2.400 and 13.495 / 2.03 runs. 102.7 vs 103.3. Not a lot of difference for 0.6 difference in 1/4 mi times. The reason for this is even though you are accelerating slower (tire spin) you have longer to accelerate.

Well, I don't really want to "argue" something I don't know about too much, but I do know that they weren't just talking about 10 second cars and I still trust them. Either way, we can agree that the 60' will make the difference.
