Seat time is a must! 2.2 on Hoosiers. But not too bad for your first time. What are the mods?

Yeah that 60' is horrible for having tires! I went to the track for my first time N pulled off a 2.13 with worn out ass street tires. N I mean worn way passed the warning bar, actually one tire blew on me kuz it was so low.

Hmmm maybe something else is wrong. Nice combo should have been better than that IMO

^ lol the driver jkjk its not tuned 13* timing 44 psi fuel

what psi are the tires at? i don't know how your burn out went, but about a 8-10 second burn out in 2nd gear, should be good. launch it about 3.5-4k if you think it's moving to much for you on the back side put some more air in the tires. [patriot]

i'd at least run 16psi if you don't like a lot of moving around on the back side. but 14 is what i use most of the time.

yeah that wiggle is scary if your not ready for it. cannot remember what psi i got my et streets down to last time out, but i do remember it kind of moving around on me on the big end. you got to have a solid grip on the wheel.

Nice meeting you last night bro, car looks good. Drop those slicks down to 13-14lbs, and play around with the pressure a bit.

Yeah walking all over the track is not fun at all. Thats what happened on my first run because I had very low psi. I got down to 16psi, but will try lower next time to hopefully get down into the 1.xx 60' range
