skunk2 rear drag springs on tokico blues
hasport mounts
tracktion bars
front suspensions are stock with just a coil over
ITR LSD tranny

and im only pulling 1.8 60fts.. wtf??

 

Try launching higher and doing a quick, aggressive slip. New bushings may benefit you as well along with a traction bar up front. More seat time is probably the best advice anybody will give you. Just try new launching techniques to see what works best for you.

 

what tire pressure? are you spinning any?

 

run the slicks at around 9psi, do a good burnout and lanuch it at 8k

 

ride the clutch out a bit, instead of dumping it. try 7psi andlower the limiter to 7k

 

i run the slicks at 9 psi launching at 7k rpm.

 

Any seasoned vet will tell you" SEAT TIME" is the key to success. Your 60's should get better with time. You can try an extra bump stop on the rear strutts to dampen the squat. try tweaking your suspension.

 

Suspension set up, good alignment, a good slick, and seat time. Make sure you are preloading and like everyone else said, slip it just a slight bit.....the preloading is key also.

Good luck, Be Safe!

 

-If you're bogging, raise the launch rpm and perhaps add air to the tires.

-If you're spinning, lower the launch rpm a tad, lower tire pressure and perhaps see if your tires are hot enough (I do 3rd gear burnouts for assurance)

Assuming your car's in the 2,100 to 2,200lbs. range with you in it and 230whp, I would suggest 8-9 psi in the tires, 7,500-7,800 launch rpm and as jdMhEaD said, PRELOADING is critical for good 60 foots and drivetrain longevity.

 

thanks guys, i'll try launching higher cause i notice a little bogging before it picks up.

 

i had a jdm itr in my eg before. 7800 2 step launch and 7 psi worked for me. rev limiter was at like 8400 or 8600. if you're worried about a launching high because of a low rev limiter, at launch the car drops 1000 rpm but you dont know that unless you're datalogging. low 1.6 60' 12.7@108

 

Awd works well for 1.6 and better 60s

 

on street tires=P
