I have a '94 GSR with I/H/E, and I have driven several other fwd cars at the same track, and I have never had a problem getting consistent 2.0's-2.2 60' out of the cars. I took my car to the track for the first time since I've owned it, and I'll be damned if I couldn't break a 2.5 60'. I tried feathering the gas out of the hole,slippin' the clutch, nothing worked. I would like to know what you guys do....anyway, I have a stock(ish) clutch, flywheel,and some michelin pilots that were deflated to about 20-21psi. TIA

 

what are you trying to launch at? And those tires have such a stiff sidewall, that lowering the pressure really isn't going to help much. I would try either babying it out off the line or, investing in a better tire. I'm not saying you can't probably drop a little more off you 60ft's with those tires, but if your launching to high with a crappy tire, its always gonna = wheelspin = bad 60's

 

I tried launching before low (4k), and it bogged,I tried launching a little higher (5k) and it spun...keep in mind i was either slipping, or feathering, or a little of both. I have had better traction on a much shittier tire.....It's just odd, ran the car 4 times and only knocked a tenth off my 60ft. I didn't care what my e.t. was, i was trying to launch the car......Would you reccomend some drag radials? or slicks? I plan on installing a NOS wet kit this week (75-100shot). Thanks.

Some days the track is just shitty.

The first thing I do is ask other people how their 60fts are. People love to bitch and complain when the track conditions suck. haha..

 

Get an LSD. it should cut your 60ft down to 2.2's or 2.0

 

^^hahahahahaha

Yea, just get an LSD. Shitty tires and shitty suspension can be fixed by the almighty LSD.
