went to the T&T on wed night and got the GT to the track after 6 years.

My mph was indicative of my combo but my launch needs work

1.822 60' and a 12.67 et at 111.44 mph

team z street beast kit with relocated uppers, stock strings, strange 10 way single adj all around

front shocks set at 3 front full loose and rears are 5

launch at 4000 rpm, tires are et street r bias at 16 psi shift at 6000 rpm

combo is 347 trick flow top end kit with larger comp cam, full 3" exhaust x pipe mac dumps, 369 hp at tire

weighs about 3350 with me in it. estimated, no spare no rear seat, smog removed, basic weight reduction

front rises a bit, settle down good, but rear bounces in first gear, not tire hop or wheel spin

should i tighten the rear springs?!?!

video to follow:

Sounds like a bog to me. Have you tried more rpm? I had similar results launching around 4k, when I raised it to 5k it dropped .2 on the 60ft.

4k launch 1.86 60ft

Don't have a great video, this one got jacked, but by here is a 5k with a 1.57 60ft. Same day I think.
