WHAT CAN I DO TO GET IT IN THO THE high 9"S

 

wtf 24 views and no help?

 

Practice the launch. With a 2.1 60 ft. and quicker shifting, you should pull 9's in the 1/8th. Just need more practice.

 

thank u that is all i was asking

this is the only real answer i've gotten and to clear every thing up i was spinning thru 1.2. and i missed third

 

what are u looking for someone to say?

you missed third... don't miss third.

there ya go, now go practice and you will keep getting better.

 

If you missed third on the 10.4 run... then don't spin that much and don't miss third... and you'll probably see high 9s. That's most obvious. I don't see how you're spinning too, too much with that engine though.

 

practice a lot...

get some drag radials

play with the air pressure go lower.

 

trapping 66mph isnt going to get you too much better tha a 10.30 you just dont have the horsepower for it.

to get 9.99 in the 1/8th you need atleast 69-70 mph , only way to get more mph is get more whp.

a more or less stock d motor on street tires would have a hell of a hard time to get a 2.1 60ft, hell ive never seen it done. with good drag radials or slicks a 2.1 easy but on the street tires with the n/a d motor probly not gonna happen

 

Im selling a set of 20x8x13" slicks that would be perfect for your car if you are serious about going faster... mounted on steelies, good tread left - $100 shipped.

PM me if you are interested.

PM me if you are interested. </TD></TR></TABLE> i got a set just like the hoosers
i just did not take them well i'm going to the trace again to day lets se what i get

 

when racing on street tires dont drop the clutch when launching, you will just spin with out getting to far.. you have to let the clutch out slow untill you feel yourself grip, then drop it. this will help your 60'ft. also if you did have some 20"slicks you would be running 9's every pass

 

well i just got back from the track and afrer about 9 passes i got it to go 9.991
woot woot well the turbo is going on this weekend and will be ready for the track sunday
