My 60' was 2.002 - not impressive - but it will get better with more practice.
Left the line at about 3500 rpm on cold tires and a slightly slipping clutch.
Just put in the GTM Race Logic traction control so I was also experimenting with this too...(jury is still out on how beneficial it is for drag racing)
Had the GTM Race Logic set at 10% slippage which was too low...it did keep the car
straight with no wheel hop but cut out the injectors too soon and lost momentum.
It did give me a good 2nd gear tho'.
I mainly attribute the change to the Mickey Thompson DR II's for eliminating the wheel hop.
(The Michelin PS2's in 40 degree weather were jumping all over the place and just didn't work).
Ran 12.4 @ 116 mph
I am now in the process of having a line lock installed and also will be fully disabling the VDC and ABLS - this will allow me to do a proper burn out - and nice'n toasty tires.
Eventually shooting for 1.8 or (even) 1.7 60' - and hopefully in to the 11's
Researching Traction Bars as well as a further remedy for the IRS...
Wish me luck next season !
