and help understanding my time slip. This was only the second time i have ever been to the strip and the first with my maggie set-up....and was on street tires so had not traction whatsoever off the line but ran hard oce i got her going.
60 ft 2.593
330 ft 6.58
1/8 9.58@81.85
1000 12.19
1/4 14.45@98.1

reaction times were very, very bad also. based on these numbers what should i expect with slicks and some practice. any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

Well reaction time wont affect your et so that doesnt matter unless your trying to beat the guy next to you.

With slicks you should be able to get under 2.0 on the 60ft. I would say mid to low 13's with that mph.

how long were you spinning?

 

spinning enough to stop and start over.....if i try to spin through it i just get sideways...too much torque on the table...

 

Get that 60' down and you will post some pretty good times. I would have figured you would be faster with your mods, but traction is killing you. Slicks and suspension mods will help.

 

Yeah, i cannot get off the line. Either i blow the tires off or i putt through it....I will not go back without slicks.

 

How much pressure are you running in your tires? You need to be down to 15 or less and maybe you could hook a little bit at least. Your 60ft. should be well bellow 2.0 and that alone will save you .7 or better in your et. Low 13s should be easy.

 

you need slicks. No way you're going to get any power down without some traction assist you're 60' should be down in the 1.8- zone. I tried running 2wd on streets....once

Don't worry about reaction times. Practice and don't (try) focus on anything other than nailing your launch correctly. With practice and traction you will see those times keep dropping

 

thanks a lot

 

Traction is certainly an issue. Looking at your setup and your slip though you have a long ways to go. Even on street tires you should have been able to squeek out alot better 60' than that. That's just a driver mod needed. The down side though is that with your mods you aren't running all that fast either. Your times from the 1/8' mile to the 1/4 mile don't show that it's making big power. I'd drop the pulley from a 2.8" to a 3.2" and have quite a bit more tuning done. You' have the mods to go in the 11's, but the times in the 14's. Even slick's aren't going to fix that. You need tires and to figure out what isn't working in your combo.

 

the tune is on the rich side and that may also be a factor but i was not going ***** to the wall either since i was on street tires. these were very conservative runs as the truck can get away from me very quickly on street tires. I was just getting some passes in. If i wanted to really spin i could have done it way past the 60' mark
