Drag Racing Launch set up and times for Manual Transmissions

sirnixalot · 02-08-2020, 01:54 PM

I forgot I said I would update this.

1.68 60ft
28x10r17 M&H bias ply slicks @ 13psi
1" lower than stock on Fortunauto 500 coilovers set to full soft
Launching at 5krpm with 4psi off the line, I had the rear suspension preloaded with the hand brake. I also have a line lock for the burn outs

The next race is on the 23rd. I have resigned myself to 4x4 status and will be raising the car up to stock height, taking it to the alignment shop and have them ratchet strap down the rear of the car to simulate the launch and go of as little negative camber as I can get away with while trying to keep the ride height camber below 0. I am hoping this, more boost and a psi or so less in the slicks can get me consistently in the 1.5's

Do you have sport brakes and if so what 17 inch rim worked for you?

Yep, sport brakes all around. I am using some Forgestars meant for the newer mustangs. 17x9.5 I think and 44mm offset. They clear everything just fine.
