60 ft

 

It's all in your launch - try lowering the psi a few more pounds or slip/feather the clutch. You could also launch higher, at 7k or so, that's what I do. I slip it from 7k with 17 pounds in the front.

2.78 is really high, generally 2.2 - 2.3 is average. Just practice, you'll improve. I improved every consecutive time I went for my first 5 times.

what did you do wrong?
you drag raced an R.....

yeah man your 60fts suck ***.....sounds like you launched at too high an rpm on shitty tires

 

Along with improving your 60ft times the 17 inch wheels are not helping your cause either. Throw on the stock rims for the drag strip if you want better times.

 

Practice man. You want to give an initial jolt off the line to get the car moving, without doing a huge burnout, and then feather the clutch until you're screaming. Try launching around 6k while feathering.

 

60 ft sucks
but you have 17" rims which are way to big for seroius dragracing.

 

ON my Te37 17's. Michelin Pilot sport tires I was able to get a 2.2 60 ft launching at 6200. Ran a 14.29@98. Aem, Comptech Header, Spoon axle back. This was at sea level. The 17's I agree can be improved on, although I would have to hit the brakes hard to go that slow.

 

dude i ran a 15.6 at 91mph on 18s in a stock ls with full interior oh and a 50 shot nos kit...... dont drag race.....
