drop the tire pressure .5psi at a time. see how the 60fts change with each drop. When you get your desired 60ft, (possibly around 7.5psi), keep it at that. Dont drop it too low if its not necessary. Its about finding that sweet spot where it hooks how you want it to.

Are you launching on a 2-step or just free reving, how fast does your car go in the 1/4?

Do you have a Full Race traction bar ?

What do you have for engine mounts ?

Is this a race only car or a DD ?

You are 2-step or free rev? Are you spinning off the line? I ran 13.0@104 with 1.7 60ft all motor launching at 5000rpm and it launched like a dream - preload and let it go
