[QUOTE]Originally posted by FivePTSlow: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by WillS: [qb] The inconsistency in the stage is how you are bumping the lights. This is a common problem with a manual transmission. Its just something you will have to work on. Every bit you bump in is a trade off of ET/reaction time. So if you bump in deep you will get a faster light but slower ET. The 20psi definitely could be a part of the spinning problem. Street shocks and drag shocks work differently. Can the street shocks work, yes. Will a set of drag shocks drastically improve it, YES. For my car, I can not launch above 3400rpm at Sacramento Raceway as the track will not handle it. You can try bringing down the RPM and see if that helps out. Old slicks can be a problem. Also with how heavy the newer cars are, I recommend running a tube in the tires or get away from all that and just put drag radials on the car. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yeah, I try to stage as shallow as possible, like you said, with a manual car it's a little bit of a pain. If Lakewood makes some 50/50's for my car and it still uses a traditional shock in the rear they would be worth the purchase. I have them on my 93, & they work fine even on the street. I suppose the best thing to try would be remember my good tire psi gauge & drop the pressure. If that doesn't do anything then I'll need some new slicks. I like slicks because they absorb a lot of the shock from clutch dumps vs. Drag radials, so I'll be sticking with slicks for sure. New 28" slicks will likely be all it takes to get to the 11's. Less fuel in the tank wouldn't hurt either. [/QB][/QUOTE]
