Re: how to get better first 1/8
Seems like a lot of mph for only a 7.4...???
I just ran some test passes last week and was:
60' 1.680
330' 4.813
1/8 7.175
107.72mph

Re: how to get better first 1/8
Anybody have some input on what I can try because I'm pretty sure car could go 7.0 if I'm getting out the hole better

8.5psi in slicks before burn out. I dont have any beadlocks So not sure if I can go lower. A decent burn out to me is doing it in 2nd gear for 2 to 3 maybe 4 seconds then letting the e brake down and pulling out.

We start at 6psi and go down as needed. Lower the pressure in your slicks you will cut a much better 60ft.

Re: how to get better first 1/8
Seems like you just need to play around with your launch control. Hitting rev limiter in 1st a bunch of times isn't ideal. You want it to spin out of the hole but not completely blow the tires off. Pressure in your slicks seem okay to me. That about what I run with the same wheel/tire setup. Test and tune. Test and tune. Test and tune.
