My 1st run was pretty good because I beat anything I've run before but they still sucked..so here goes.

#1- 60 degrees outside, 20 psi in 26x10.5 in ET Streets, launching at 2500rpm and shifting at 6400 rpm into 2nd and third. Small burnout.

R/T... .866
60'.... 1.938
330.... 5.819
1/8.... 9.043
MPH.... 77.85
1000... 11.734
1/4.... 14.016
MPH.... 96.57

Now I met a guy there that was runnin a 98 cobra with the EXACT same mods and here is what he told me to do.." Drop the tire pressure to 11psi, Launch at 5000 rpm, and shift from 1st to 2nd at 5800rpm, and from 2nd to 3rd at 5400 rpm. Now I watched this dude run and rode with him one time and he was running consistant 13.27's/13.29's @ 101+ mph so I tried what he was doin..Well things got worse..

#2 63 degrees, 11psi, Launching at 3500 rpm, shifting at 6000 and 5500 rpm, good burnout and grinding 2nd gear!!

R/T.. 1.070
60'.. 1.996
330.. 5.948
1/8.. 9.178
MPH.. 77.05
1000 11.911
1/4.. 14.233
MPH.. 95.34

Spun bad off the line..

#3 58 degrees, 11 psi, Launching at 5000 rpm, shifting at 5800 and 5600 rpm, good burnout.

R/T... .988
60'... 2.201
330... 6.091
1/8... 9.268
MPH... 78.26
1000.. 11.963
1/4... 14.244
MPH... 96.78

Spun really bad off the line..

I think i can help a little with this one. First off, the thing that really stands out is the tire pressure. 11psi is WAY to low. I know this cause I have run ET streets at all types of pressure and you don't want to go below 14psi. My car hooked best at 16psi. I would not recomend launching at 5k too many times on a stock rear. It will break! But, that is the optimal RPM to launch a heavy ass snake with ET streets. So basiclly, be careful. You should be able to hit some 1.7 60's with those tires so don't give up.

What was the matter with your launches? Spin or bog?
