Went to the track for the 1st time yesterday (only had the car for 1 month now)..
ran about 7 times and the best time i could get was 12.44@112, 60 ft was 1.977.
for the life of me i cannot figure out how to launch this car, i was on some M/T drags 275/40/17. and my best 60 foot time was 1.977 ( but most were 2.0 - 2.1). i tried launching from different rpms from 2500-4000, dumping the clutch, riding the clutch, all included a 2nd gear burn out. psi on tires were 12lbs - 14lbs.
car is an 04 vert, intake,exhaust,off road x pipe,mgw shifter,sct xcal, BF 2.76 w/3 aux idlers, BF irs brace - dynoed at 461hp/467tq
Tranny was very tempramental, sometimes very easy to shift other time very hard to get into gear??? is that normal???
I also iced the charger and TB and put ice into coolant resouivor.
Any help and advise would greatly be appreciated. I havent raced in 3 yrs but i think i drive pretty well, got my 99 cobra 13.5s on streets w/minor bolt ons ..
what kind of 1/4 mile times should i be expecting ??? i was hoping for 12.0s at least.
