also, i am not dumping the clutch or anything, im feathering it out from 1500 and for second it spins for a good second or two.

 

You mean with good tires? your E.T. will get a little quicker and your speed will be a little slower with good tires

 

not always... if he is feathering it out of the hole that means he could be 60' out before he ever really nails into it. but as far as your mph/et your et should be high 8s@80-85 mph or so with your mods and good tires...

 

why would the speed be slower with good tires?

 

Get the nitto 555rs good for 15k and you don't slide in the rain and almost hit somebody like the nt05r.

 

Because you are actually hooking up instead of having your tires spin and upping your mph.

 

yeah my best 1/8 was 8.7 i believe

 

so if i trap 5mph higher id get a low 8? how is that? i think i could easily get 5mph more with better tires

 

If you hook off the line, your MPH is going to be a little slower because your wasting less time spinning. When I had N555Rs My trap speed was way higher than it is now

 

can somebody please explain, because when you spin, your not going forward, so if that time spent spinning, u were hooked, wouldnt that mean you would gain speed faster? and therefore have a higher trap speed?

if not please explain

 

Take two cars. One hooks off the line and gets on it. He has a time of 13 seconds. The other spins off the line loosing time but still gets a 13 second run. The second will trap much faster because he had to be faster just to catch up.

 

if you dead hook your motor bogs down (lowering rpms), and takes longer to to get your rpms up to gain speed

is it normal though, to be chirping third even though its with street tires?

 

street tires are not sticky, so they will spin easier than drag radials

 

so with some mickey thompsons or nitto's from what could i launch from?

 

whatever you want to break your stock rear end at. lol. i wouldnt try too much over 3k-3.5k

 

:lmao

 

so 2k it is for me thanks lol

 

^ HAHAHA. great answer

 

fwiw i ran the same times (when i was new to the car) at about 78-79 and then got all the way down to 8.7 hooking good and still only trapped 79

 

These passes were all made on the same day in 07.

hey man, glad you posted those up. was just curious how deep in the 10s a 7.0 pass could go... what kind of power did you make to run those times? my car coasted a 7.2@85 on boost alone and im really hoping to get pretty far in the 10s and everyone is sayin its gonna take a 6 sec pass but you got in the 10.8s with a 7.18 whereas my coast pass was a 7.21

 

y2k... that is so slow!!!!! :yes

 

Yes...I need to lower the 60's to really be quick.

 

lol... J/k... I wish so bad!!!! Hell just stuff me in the trunk, i dont care.

 

I launch at 4400 rpms on drag radials, slipppping the clutch out.

Best 60' was 1.83.

Some would say I'm a pussy and should dump the clutch at 5500 rpms but I like my car too much and I'd like to be able to drive it home from the track (I have the stock tranny, rear and axles in my car still).

 

i'm willing to bet that you wouldn't hook doing that anyway...so yeah, there retarded

 

the stock rear can take a hell of a beating with slicks, i launched at 5k and was able to get het down to 1.6xx 60 ft, as far as trap speed goes easy 8.8's with a 1.9 60ft but the trap will go down, another way to increase that trap is to get adjustable uppers and set the pinion angle to -1 to -3, i picked up 2 mph doing that
