Went to Milan Michigan Drag Strip today.
Best day ever there with the Boss, a 13.2 @ 111 mph.
No shift problems & good reaction time.
Usual prob with Pirelli's not hooking up.
Car is stock except for suspension mods.
It is all about the fun and practice. No doubt that you should be able to cut a 1.8-1.9 60' on the stock tires. Are you going around the water, and best practice is to leave the line slightly more aggressively than leaving a normal traffic light. Can't remember exactly, but think that mine went 12.70's at 114 stock here in the Florida heat.
Woowee, the DA must of been good or because you are closer to sea level, 114 MPH is moving! I mustered 111 MPH last Saturday at Zmax. Of course that was late at night when the heat died off lol. My best on my 275/60/15 555R's was a 60' of 1.9 and still not launching hard, on a tire with a stock Boss I see 1.6ish short times on a tire. Next Thursday at Mustang Week I have a better idea of where I need to be tire pressure wise. Note: 12psi in a drag tire is a tad low for a burnout unless you are all the way in the water haha. You look dumb wheel hopping forward trying to warm up the tires lol.
You should back into the water, lightly spin to get tire wet, roll out of water, and then proceed to do the burnout. Good luck next week.
Ah ok, that makes more sense than doing it in the water lol. What was the weather like when you hit 114? I feel like it would have to be 0% Humidity and low DA just about. Last weekend it was a little humid until late at night. I also do not drag race much either lol.
No idea of the DA. Just went around the water and put some heat into the tires. Launched like I was leaving the light but slightly more aggressive and slammed every gear near redline. I can tell you that it was not perfect conditions.
