Question:

What kind of DA are you running against?

Superchargers love cold air....

Idk how to calc DA but our track is aprox 9 feet over sea level average temp is 60 and no humidity what so ever.

Yeah thats about as good as it gets. Last weekend I was racing in 93 degree weather with high humidity, and a DA of 4100 ft.

The pic of your car doing the burnout is awesome! You have a full resolution picture you can send me? I'll make it my laptop background!

Broke into the 11s this weekend i am sure i can go lower into the 11s with that trap speed, just need to figure out how to lower them 60 foots, i trapped 121 mph the day before a couple of times but both et´s that day where 12.1

Here is a video of the run sorry about not embing dont know if its possible to embe from flickr

Nice! If you work that 60-foot down, it'll run low 11s.

I think it needs more rpms and some clutch slip.

What's the suspension setup?

Steeda SportS, Tokico HP, Che UCA, Che LCA w/brackets, BMR adj. Pan hard rod

Been launching at 4k rpm with with 14psi in the M/T slicks

What size tires & wheels? 26x10? And what did the car do on the 1.85 launch? Are you using any sort of launch control box for the turbo, like a Bump Box?

Tires are 28x11.5 R15 wheels are 15x10, spun the tires a little in the start then i hooked.
I have a 2step wotbox set @ 4k rpm

Seems strange.

You could certainly drop the tire pressure down a little. 12psi would be a noticeable difference, but it'll move around on the big end.

You're not running innertubes are you?

I'm really surprised that it's spinning out of the hole on upgraded suspension and 28" slicks.

You could try lower tire pressure, higher launch RPM, but instead of popping the clutch on the hit, let it out like you would leaving a traffic light. I bet you could leave at 5000+ RPMs and still hook.

Nope im not running innertubes, i will definitely try slipping the clutch @ 5k rpm to see if it does the job.

I was actually surprised how good the car felt on the big end with 14psi in the tires, it danced around in 1st-3rd gear then it went straight, so 12 psi here i come lol

Thanks for the pointers Sharad

No prob. Anytime. I'm really interested to see how this works out for you. I'm usually able to coach manual trans guys at the track to get much quicker 60-foot times, but it's hard online.

I was sitting here thinking maybe you should sit in the car with it not running, and practice taking about one second to go from the clutch pedal on the floor to all the way up. Do that a few times, get comfortable with it, then do it at the tree. Does that make sense? I don't want you to ride the clutch... Just let it out slowly enough to get the weight a chance to transfer a little before the clutch is all the way out. I think you'll find that you can go nuts with the launch RPMs and still hook. With your upgraded suspension & 28" ET streets, that car should have some pretty stout 60's hidden in there.

I can't wait to see how much ET you're able to pull out of it.
