Anyone got some advice for auto dragsters?

The best 60' i've ever had was a 2.23x and that was finally after getting my gears.

I know my 285 tires are a big help too...

If I do an 1800 RPM launch i get no wheel spin but a slow launch.. I still manage 2.2 60'

If I do a 2200RPM launch get some wheel spin but a faster launch.. i sill end up getting same times and the same 2.2 60' times.

Anyone have some of their own tricks?

 

my best 60' is a 2.149 on crappy oem 235/45/18 turanzas. I am fully stock. Nothing special really, I just had it in manual mode, VDC switched off, brake torqued to about 2000 RPMs, no burnout (useless on street tires). Track prep is HUGE, weather conditions, elevation, etc. I would think the higher FD would help improve the launch depending if you hook up, which shouldnt be a problem with 285s. What mods do you have besides the gears?

 

cold air intake and an kinetix ssv manifold.

thats it for performance mods.

 

what kind of tires?

 

Goodyear Eagle F1's

 

heat the tires up by doing a prespin. THis will give a better coef. of friction with the strip. Buy a pair of slicks for the back.
