What was Mph first run? You started out really high on the psi with slicks. More track time and you will be rolling. Are you preloading axles?

Im no expert, but....

We need more info. What EMS do you have?? are you using launch control/anti-lag?? What chassis/weight?? It sounds like you didn't have enough power off the line if you are bogging when launching at 7.5k.

What engine mounts? you may need stiffer.

Start with the slicks around 10 psi, launch at a high rpm and work your way down till you aren't spinnning and you aren't bogging. Use launch control to try and build a bit of boost (you should be able to make at least 3-5 psi) or even better, anti-lag if you have it.

You should be cutting 1.8s at least, and what were your traps??

ok well here is the thing the car is an eg coupe not sure of weight yet,
i figured out a few things so ill check and see what my mistakes are,

i was taking off the line at 7200 but i figure due to not having the 2 step set up is why it fell on its face, so im going to figure it out,

With 279whp tuned on RLZ's dyno I was in the mid-high 7's on street tires. These runs were over 90mph and with crappy 60' times. Also, I did not have any antilag or anything with that tune. It was all launching off pedaling and preloading. With closer to 400whp I was around 100mph........these days 400whp can get you low 11's and possibly into the 10's with some practice. You should also run around 100mph with 400whp regardless of 60' times or any 2-step in the 1/8th.

1st run, too much tire pressure.

2nd run, you let the clutch out too fast so it bogged hard and most likely hurt your axle there then broke on the hard shift. You need to fix the launch control and work on your clutch control/preload technique.
