but anyways my concern is what should i launch at on street tires? i tried 6k and all i did was spin out on the track....i got to run only one time and i ran a 16.4 at 99mph
60ft-3sec (lol i did better all motor...
r/t-.532

i know i can do better with them times because i ran a 15.9 at 89mph stock motor

hey bro the way you are going to lower your eta's is through practice. I have a 98 GSr on 275 whp and 206trq and my best run has been a 14.1 at 107 mph. Do you have traction bars, motor mount inserts, or drag radials? i would look into some traction bars and motor mount inserts and practice that launch...that 1st 60 ft is the most important time factor and can dictate whether you run a 13.5 at 102 mph or a 16.5 at 102mph...I have the same issue with just being new to the track and I get mad wheel hop, spin, and torque steer. I am buying lcon traction bars and inserts...if i dont hit the 13's then I will try BFG drag radials. Good luck and keep practicing...my boy has a friend with a turboed GSr who runs 11 second passes on an open differential and street tires...though he is pushing 20psi I think..peace
