[QUOTE="Pure_Evil_GT500, post: 11014669, member: 120062"] I just came back from a very disappointing time at the track... I finally found time to put on my new MT 17 inch drag radials and try them out... Nice 60 degree day up here in Canada and the air was perfect for me to get in some good passes... First pass I launched at 3000rpm at 20psi in the tire and car can out nice and I shifted cleanly at 6300rpm... Car ran great so I thought. Got my time slip and it said 1.98 sixty, 12.47 at 114mph and I was like WTF is this my time slip? My car bone stock went 118mph all the time and once 119mph. The car has since gone 123mph with my mods on a street tire... So I decided to go make another pass... I came up did a nice 5-10 second burnout, staged and launch at 3500rpm this time. Car hooked then about at the sixty foot mark my right rear started to spin so I let off and started to accelerate once traction was back and crossed the line at 12.98 at 113mph... I kept wondering where my mph had gone... So at this point I figured maybe I'll lower the tire pressure a bit and launch higher rpm (4000rpm to be exact) did the same duration burnout then staged the car.
