just remember this is at 5800ft altitude

best: 16.373@85.40

 

opinions?

tips on how to get a better 60' time?

 

What was tire pressure at?

 

25psi on some yokohama radials. right now i just ahve some 14" steelies on

 

What rpm are u launching at???

 

the first 2 runs i launched at 4-4.5k

the third i launched at 5.5k

 

what is that put into sea level terms....even with that i dont think your running mid 15 sec ....when u could hit low 15sec in reality

 

when the last yellow hits.. slip the clutch.. you'll be spinnin the tirse and by teh time green hits.. you'l be moving.

 

According to the NHRA correction chart 5500 ft is max

Your best run came at 15.32@91.73 (16.451) not bad but still some room for improvement. Buy some drag radials and you should see a 16.00 locally for you if not a 15.99 which at your elevation shouldnt be too bad.

Oh your correction factor for 5500 is .9315 for ET and 1.0731 for mph

You can use that standard to measure your progress against others.

 

 

Just curious, what happened with the R/T on the third run? Yeah, get some drag radials and just keep experimenting with the launching technique and you'll get those 60' times down.

 

i forgot to update this thread.

i ran again on wednsday sept 25th and:

r/t .603
60' 2.361
330 6.648

1/4 15.774
mph 88.10

but this is with the interior stripped, cleaned air filter, & 22psi in the tires

anyone know what this would be at sea level.
i know rota slips are kinda played out, but for the price & weight, i cant find a better deal so i'm gonna get some. i think the wider tires will help my 60' times

14.69@94.54

I left the correction factors you can use in the other post.

Nice trap speed.....still need more work on the launch though. some 2.0's will have you running 14.30's most likely
