Now for you drag radial guys
Same applys for setup except bring the rear tire pressure down to about 16psi. Drive thru the water box stopping the rear tires in the water. Spin the tires over a couple of times getting them wet and then pull forward till your back tires are right on the edge of the water box. Put the car is second gear and bring the car up to 5500 rpms and then dump the clutch while hurrying and putting you foot on the brake. You shouldn't need to mash the brake pedal to the floor. You don't need to do a john force style burnout and its not a burn out competition either. Just sit there holding the rpms steady at say 5k rpms for about 7 seconds or so or until you see enough smoke where the rear is kinda cloudy. then let off the gas and do the same as above for pulling up to the line. Bring the rpms up to 5k to start to see what it does. You can try dumping the clutch too see what happens and that all can be adjusted in the next run if it spins or bogs down. If it spins the bring the rpms down, if it bogs then bring the up in about 300rpm increments. And then the rest goes with above for the rest of the driving part

Nice writeup! Btw, why should you remove your front sway bar, and isn't 45 PSI a bit much for street tires that say they should hold 32 PSI?

well the tires i had said max psi was 44, and less rolling resistance with them aired up all the way. Front sway bar keeps the weight from transfering, plus its 18lbs on the front that is not needed

And trust me dude everything i put in there works, i know from experience. If i can run a 13.8 with those tips bone stock and then consistant 13.6's after alot of practice and then 13.2's with just fats and skinnies, drag radials, shifter and catback i think its good advice.

Well I'm too lazy to remove my front sway bar, and I already knew about the tires, but I was wondering why you had them set so extreme lol. I guess just max out the front tires and set the rear to 22 PSI. Everything else sounds perfect, I can't wait 'til my first time on the drag
. After that, it's time to hit the track!

if this is irrelevant just tell me. how much of a difference does the extra weight in a convertible actually make when you're launching and racing theoretically perfect? I've noticed that on the 8th mile I'm getting beat by stock coupes. on the quarter those same cars are a fender behind me. I've got some work to do on my launch though, this write-up is going to be my new bible for that, but is it hopeless in the convertible without extra work?

its all about weight man, a vert weighs alot more so of course to get more weight to go fast as something that is lighter you need more power

I know I'm about 200 or 300 or so pounds heavier than the coupes right? I've got intake, plenum, throttle body, tb spacer, off road x pipe, flowmaster catback, sct 4 bank...I can take the stock coupes, but not as easy as I'd like...my launching helps a lot though, I've realized that a race can be won by a great launch against a terrible launch.

I haven't tried this on my drag radials but I'm not sure if I'm daring enough for a 5000 RPM launch.
Great advice - I needed some tips. I'm running a full bolt-on 96 Cobra with drag radials (M/T) and adjustable suspension, my best 60' is 1.89. Could this be lower? Fastest pass is a 13.49.I've got 4.10s and a rear end girdle, I'm afraid such a high launch will destroy something even though it's a little better than stock? I know racing is breaking and I'm not afraid too, just not sure if that's too much. I shift around 6500. |
