What size and type of street tires are you using? Unless you want to purchase slicks, I would suggest BFG drag radials and low PSI. To find out exactly how low you will have to play arond w/PSI and see what works best with your setup. Plus whats your susp/alignment setup?

 

How high are you reving? Try feathering out your clutch rather then dropping the clutch....

 

i have 15" brigestone potenzos, with stock shocks and h&r springs, i rev to 8500rmps...see i was using the gas alone and tring to control it that way, next time i go to the track i will try that

 

oh my goodness..8500?? you need slicks...potenza are not gonna hold......trying reving 3500-4000 and work on high or how low you need to set your rpm at....

 

sorry i must of mis understood the question off the line i launch at like 2500 to 3000rmps

 

Use the hand barke and let the car pull while the lights drop. When green drop the barke and feather the clutch. I ran 2.05 60 with street tires using this method. Also if you want to get good traction with street tires use VHT Track bite.

 

This is the method that I use also...pre-load the suspension, rev to 3500-4000, and slip the clutch.

I cut 2.0 60' on street tires.

 

hey wit street tire i launch at 5000 rpm and i hit a 13.2 on my ls/vtec
