Default Terrible 1/4 mile time...

I need advice on launching I guess.

My best 1/4 mile was a 14.1@104mph with a 2.5 60ft time.

I tried launching it every way I could think of and could never get a good one.

Any ideas? I'm running on 17" street tires.


btw, this car dyno's at 272whp and 217lbs of torque.

Your 60ft times does suck.
Get some Drag radials or slicks if you don't have them already.

104mph Trap speed is good enough for low 13's.

Ditch the 17's and get some 15's, or even stock steelies. 104 trap speeds are good for low 13's...
