It's official, I suck at drag racing

[the98stang]

Ok, this is my second time on the strip, and I'm very disappointed. Keep in mind, my AFR was around 10.2-10.8 between 5200 and 5500 rpms because I didn't have enough time to tweek my tune. This trip was kind of a last minute deal. I estimate around 330-340whp with that crap tune. My best 60' time was 2.0 with 275/50/15 MT DR's. Terrible I know, but I couldn't get them to smoke enough, and they were brand new. My best 1/4 mile was 13.45 @109 mph. I tried launching at 2500, 3000, and even 4000 rpm. Tires had 17.5 lbs of air. Any tips on the box/drag in general would be great. I feel like installing my smaller pulley lol. But I am DEFINITELY fixing the tune.

damn u do suck, lol jk......but just practice

Be very patient, first time I went I ran a 14.2. Second time with DRs of course, I ran a 12.6. It'll come, get your 60ft down and you'll be in the 12s. Looks like traction is still the problem, get them hotter next time.

Your 60ft isn't great but it's not terrible either. A 2.0 should still get you into the 12's no prob. I would drop the pressure in those Mickey's too. I usually run 15#'s and they hook stupid bad, even with a not so great burn out they hook harder than my Nitto's ever did.

What were your other numbers? Is this a 5 speed? Rough calculation.
60 Foot 2.0
1/8 Mile 8.3 @ 86 MPH
1/4 Mile 12.9 @ 108 MPH

When I ran the 13.4 my 60' was 2.137. When I ran the 60' 2.0, I didn't get my 1/4 time because one of my IC pipes blew off, so I had to push her off the track . That was the last run of the night.

 

[02LaserRed2V]

Don't feel too bad. With 428rwhp, I ran a best of 12.9@111mph, w/2.0 60'. Shtty ET and shttier trap speed for the power my car was making. Oh well.

 

[BennyBlown2v]

Air down the tires a tiny bit, launch at 4k-5k RPM slipping it out, lean up your air-fuel, and for god sake rev past 5,500RPM! I ran plenty of 13's before finding 12's, after that it was easy and I could do consistent 12.7's on street tires. I've only been out once this year, and with the extra power I can't get it down into the 12's on 245 street tires, just too much power for the first the gears

 

[BurningRubber]

Just practice man. I cut a 1.9 60' on BFG DR's 275/60/15 not launching full blast with my bolt on car with a messed up tune.

Heat the hell out of the tires and leave hard, just hope nothing breaks...
