I went 97mph when I did 13.8,,,of course his mph is gonna be bad if he's spinning through first gear! An aod's 1st gear is ALOT longer then a 5spd's.NKau said:He's only trapping 97 mph, so it's really not fine. He should trap well over 105 mph regardless of his driving abilities. I don't find it that hard to believe that his 60 times are that bad if the track prep is horrid.

Nick if he lowered his 60ft to a 1.7,dropping his et a full second would not be opserd!! The rule of thump is for every tenth you drop your 60,your et should come down 2 tenths.NKau said:I agree that he'd lost some mph, but not 10+. I wonder if you might also have some problems with your AOD.
R U serious or kidding? Dude thats why your spinning off the line.,,,,,,,,as your pulling through the puddle with the back tires just "tap" the gas so the tires spin just a little bit to get them wet.Wait till you get "out" of the puddle onto "dry" pavement to do your burnout.luckythirteen13 said:thats whats always been in my mind about the 60'. if i ran a 1.7 in the 60' id run 13-13.1. i do a burnout in the water like all the other people do. i get nervous and forget to pull out of the water....could that be a problem? i just did a burnout on the street with my street tires. made lots of smoke. my sister stood in the back to watch the tires. when i aplied the throttle slow, the left tire begun spinning about a second before the right. when i step on it hard, they start right at the same time. the limited slip has about 10 burnouts on it. i have my battery on the right side in the trunk. not sure what im launching at. i just hit the gas right after the last light and just before the green i let off the brake. as far as traction bite goes i think so. before racing starts they spray stuff on the track that smells like grapes and high octane fuel but they only do it once and then not at all the rest of the night. i always forget to pull out of the water box before i do a burnout. maybe thats why i have never made any smoke before. the guys who have pure drag cars make lots of smoke but i make none:damnit:

Fishhawk said:Just one question. Are you sure your advanced timing is 13, or is that base, because if your advance is 13 you just found your problem. Try setting your base at 15 or 16 and your advanced should be around 36/37.
