how good/bad is this?

[Satan's Snake]

went to the track today with a few friends and wanted to see if I could improve on my previous runs best of 8.345. I launched at about 4,5xx and tried to slip the clutch kinda quick(unfortunately it keep slippin after I let off:shrug

first and only pass and yes I know...i red lighted

R/T .423
60' 1.947
330 5.336
1/8 8.140
MPH 88.62

I had to ease off the throttle in first so the clutch would stop slipping but after that it went pretty smooth


mods are in sig

I'm just curious to know what I should be running and how much I need to improve

:beer:

No to bad.....I'm sure you would have liked to have broken into the 7's. What tires you running?

 

[Satan's Snake]

yeah I woulda loved a 7.9 pass. I'm running nitto 555R d/r's. @ 21psi

I read somewhere in this section that upping the pressure to 40psi in your front tires helps is that true?

Only if they're skinnies! ;-) COuld take a little practice, but you should be able to get those Nittos into the 1.7 sixty foot range which would help your ET a bunch. Just takes practice......

a slipping clutch is definitely hurting your et

it didn't slip much just at the launch when I went full throttle while feathering it...I'm gonna try to feather the throttle this weekend and see if I can lower my short times
