Can you guys give it to me straight and tell me if this ET is slow for my MPH? I'm running on MT ET Streets and/or Nitto NT05's. This run was with a 125 shot. Also, I have adjustable shocks and struts. When drag racing how should I set them up? Stiff or loose on certain wheels? I'm a newb at this and I just want to be as competitive as possible? I know this slip is old but the car is unchanged and I'm getting back into the hobby. Thanks for the help.

Manual. TKO-600. Any insight on setting up the adjustable suspension? I also want to mention I'm no running on sleeks or anything, just street trim. I've also read that when running on drag radials you don't necessarily need to do a huge burnout and launch at 4000 RPM. Is learning the sweet spot to launch by getting superior clutch and accelerator pedal action more beneficial?

I've been called out by a lot of new Coyote 5.0's and I want to run them N/A. I've driven several friends new 5.0's, and while they're fast, it's a different feel. Hard to explain.

Running quick ETs with a manual trans takes lots of practice finding the "sweet spot", as you called it. Bringing up the rpms, slipping the clutch just right, and banging those powershifts!
