I don't get traction in 1st or 2nd. First as soon as I hit the gas the tires sping right to the red line I shift into second and the keeping spinning but at that point at least I am starting to move forward.

 

Thanks for the advise everyone! I will post how it goes we I return Wednesday night.

 

The time in his sig is a stock car time.

 

I have 275-40-17 MTs ET drag radials and I go to the ****tiest 1/8 mile track you can imagine and just doing a simple burnout,not powerbraking, I can can dump the clutch at 5k, so you could do the same. I suggest doing a powerbrake to get the tires nice and hot.

 

No need to power brake the car. I have a line lock.

you've dumped a lotta mods in between track visits huh?? Looks like you should run some good times. As far as for advice, none from me. My best 60' is a 2.35, so im just saying good luck

 

Drop the pressure to around 16-18 psi, do a 2nd gear burnout in the water box, power out of the box (don't stop the burnout in the water otherwise you just wasted tread), and then here's where you may need a few tries:

my method is the "try and see what the track will hold" way.

Bring the R's up to around 5k and sidestep the clutch. Either you will annihilate the tires or on a gluestrip track you'll launch that thing like an animal out of the hole.

If can't get it to hook right away just bring the R's down, like 300-500 at a time and keep sidestepping the clutch until feel a fairly decent hook without spinning too much. If you need too then ride the clutch out of the hole and pedal as necessary.

Then again don't listen to me. I trapped 116 and only went 12.40's []

 

No I have been to the track a hand full of times with my mods, just never on DR's, so my 60ft times have always been crap, never below 2 seconds.

 

Forgot to ask - what psi are you running - I'd bet it's too much...

 

Lol if you're real serious raise the pressure in your fronts and drop it in the back.
