Heres my slip guys
R/T .774
60' 1.883
330 5.254
1/8 8.003 @ 90.72
1000 10.359
1/4 12.336 @114 also did a 12.343 @117

This is with the front sway bar removed and really crappy hard lowering springs so the car gets barely any weight transfer. Any idea what you thinks Wrong? All my mods are in my sig. Also was using mt et streets 26X10.5X15

My combo is not quite as extensive as yours. See sig for details. I also have FMS lowering springs with KYB sport shocks, with all poly bushings. I removed the swaybar and put the battery in the back. This made a difference, but my biggest suggestion is what you already know. Zero weight transfer= Zero traction. I did not realize just how much I was spinning first and second gear until I had a friend video my launches up close.

MPH is extremey low... With that kind of power even on a street car with lowering springs and all Id be mad if I wasnt well over 120. 114 mph is what 320 rwhp cars are pulling, the 117 shows promise, but also shows that with a 3 mph change there might be an issue. It might be driver, car, or who knows but there shouldnt be a 3 mph difference in two near the same passes.

The car also is not hooking. Those tires will stick and with that kind of power should be easy 1.6s, even 1.5 60's. What technique are you using out of the hole, for the burnout, and what wheel/tire and suspension combo?

Im launching from 5000 i do a nice burnout in the burnout box to get the et streets nice and sticky. Also i have 26x10.5x15 et streets on 10 holes. And crappy lowering springs with crappy suspension that doesn't allow any weight transfer.

Yeah I too run crappy suspension, and my tires on turbines, but have been in the 1.6s with a weak motor. My guess is your traciton loc might be going (if its original) or youe car really cant hook. Try lower tire pressure, different launch and burnout techniques, and maybe more weight out back.

I have not got to 11.99 yet, but I suggest skinny tires up front, take all the weight out you can, like rear seats, pass seats, etc.

Why do people take out the rear seat? I've had them out before and they are both basically foam (notch) and I could see maybe the folding seats in a hatch, but again, that seat part is just foam and weighs next to nothing.

Whats the tune like?? Fuel pressure ,timing etc... Is that 255 the only pump and is it an high pressure pump? Might be running out of fuel on the big end..Are you running a chip or any type of boost timing retard? My 86 with a powerdyne was running 11.7x's with 118mph, on drag radials.

Seen the BTM in SIG now,, how much timimg you ytaking out per pound??
