Air bag, funny...
That was an attempt to control shock compression/rebound, on wore out original stock shocks.
Without it, the car would hook, rebound, and break loose... with the bag, it still rebounds and looks like a circus ride, but, controls it enough to stay hooked up.
Went from bests of low 1.7's (like, 1.72-1.73, when it'd not unload and spin to a high 1.7) to 1.70's-1.71's pretty consistant.
I have new in the box Lakewood 50/50's that I'll thro on before it goes to the track again. I hope that'll be enough to put it solidly in the high 1.6's. With the stock shocks, it's loosing some time compressing rebounding, and there is a lot of movement up/down in the rear on the 1-2 shift... nose stays up, but the trunk slams down on the 1-2... gotta be eating energy... With the 50/50's, I'm not sure if I'll need the air bag... dunno... we'll see.
without littlerally counting, I was spinning out of the hole too far on launch. I still turn them over, but maybe only 5-6 feet... just enough to keep the stock motor from bogging.
driving out of the burnout and letting it hook up and chirp was putting too much heat in the clutch. It made the 1-2 shift difficult/inconsistant, and as a result very deliberate and of course slow.
I mention'd above...
when the second yellow is fully out, I floor the gas, and when the last yellow is fully bright, I'm gone.
I think making a consious(sp?) effort to floor the gas prior letting the clutch out was the biggest thing holding back my 60'. Flywheel momentum... dunno?
These are things that have worked for me.
Hopefully, they'll not hinder you.
