Zach, considering how similar our cars are (when I owned mine)....try what I did to net 2.1 60' times. Just launch from idle, as if you were jumping ahead of a few cars at a light without trying to burn rubber. I was getting consistent 2.1-2.2 60' times doing that. Car is coming along great.

The car has NO low end which is what kills me. It just wants to rev to the moon and does not wake up until 6500rpm. Your car had so much more low end then mine. I think you might have better tires then me too. My Potenzas just dont like me anymore. They have over 200 passes on them and are about 2 years old. But thanks Sam.

Can't be much different....3.0 with +20's....3.2 with Stage II's....probably act very similar.

Fresh tires and some more launching practice and Zach id bet you have a SOLID 13 second car. And i agree with sam. I have NO real time at a drag but i can get my car off the time coming off idle and slipping the clutch pretty good like a bat out of ****. This may lower 60's but im not sure it will net and overall gain because youre going to be losing alot rpm you have to build before the secondaries open? More of a question than a statement...

Gen3 sf?

Get some DRs. With some 2.0 60fts you could easily be mid to high 13s. Shit I was running 13.9 @ 103 on street tires with a 100 shot.

Yes gen3 sf. I need tires. I can do 13's on street tires i just needed more time to figure out how to launch it. After i had 3rd gear issues James Huber talked me into packing it back up on the trailer. This is not the final runs with this car. Im going to fix the trans, pull a little more weight, and then get some stickies. I have a feeling this car will see even higher traps and faster E.T's. **** im still untuned

Did you use cables?

The power is there, you just need to setup the suspension right.

Look in the videos. The rear does not sink at all, i even made a video of the rear and so almost no weight transfer. I think i just need the tires so i can launch somewhere near my powerband

Nice runs. Like Drew said the power is there you just need to setup the suspension better. gotta get the 60ft to a consistent 2.1 or 2.0.

So who would like to see the full 14.0 @ 103.26 ? The one where the GoPro is still rolling when I find out I broke the trans and celebrate? Its pretty funny. I figured you guys would like to poke fun.
