The name of the game (at least the one serious racers play) is to minimize ET and realize the potential of the car, right? Alternately you can always conserve parts, go easy on the car, and leave ET on the table. Many people go the 2nd route and there is nothing at all wrong with that approach as it allows you to have fun while minimizing the probability of grenading parts :p I'm just throwing out some ideas to minimze the ET that I've learned myself. It's up to Dustin how hard he wants to push things. Of course that pushing is what sometimes leads to broken parts unfortunately. [QUOTE]Originally posted by 96stang4.6: [qb]lauch at 4200 thats the max torque to get off the line [/qb][/QUOTE]Oh brother, what does launching at peak torque get you when the car will bog down below the RPM where the peak torque occurs? Remember, torque is a rotational force but without the aspect of "time" included in the equation (to get Horsepower), it is meaningless. Horsepower is king. To get down the track in the least amount of time, you want to maximize the area under the HP curve in the usable RPM range during the pass (integral of the HP curve, NOT the torque curve). [QUOTE]Originally posted by EPIK: [qb]The front tires were what they always are on the street, 30-35 psi [/qb][/QUOTE]Dustin, if you go out on your street wheels again, air the fronts up to 40-45psi to minimize rolling resistance. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Streakmatt: [qb]Luke I had him set them at 13psi cold. Too bad I wasnt in attendance that night, could have tried a few things. Well D can get the 60ft. better with practice on what RPM it likes to be launched at, play with tire PSI, shift points etc. IF he had some skinnies then MAYBE he could squeak out a 1.59..
