YOU HAVE A 285 60 -15 on the tock 9.5 inch rim! thats part of your traction problem.... to wide of a tire on to small of a rim... unless you run those tires down to 10 PSI your traction patch is messed with by squeazing that tire on..... With a stock 5.0 with a 200 shot I'm only going to a 255 60 16 on the stock 10 holes!

phil do a google search for Nitrous FAQ look at the NX kits.... they have a kit that SAFLY add a 150 shot to your car! just from your dyno down here that puts you at 450 if your still making 300 rwhp....

I'm going to paint mine black but leave the center cap polished! thats what they did to the old CHP cars! looks kind of cooll, just temperary till i get my drag lights!

you think thats the problem?? thats what the guy had on it when i bought it....and it looks cool as hell, but if thats the problem...i might get new rims.. i just thought they were shitty tires.

i wont go any bigger then like a 265 60 or even 55 15

your a manual right? what rpm do you launch at and how?

at the track i started off around 1500-2000, but then igot to the point where i didnt even launch at all, just eased on the gas and then punched it. just couldnt hook up

 

[Foxman]

when you hold it at 1500-2000 are you leaving your gas pedal were its at and letting the clutch out hard? or are you gassing as you clutch, that will make you spin!

Try this Hold it at about 2000 maybe 1500..... Dump the clutch but dont hit the gas untill it stops spining and grabs then mash it! the mach 1 i had I could hold about 3000 RPM dump the clutch and spin a little tiny bit... And trust me you may think your not moving the gas pedal but you probably are!

 

[Foxman]

whats tire pressure? try like 18 or 20 ps!

 

[blackstallion06]

ok everyone knows Andys tricks now

 

[beejay31000]

next time i make it down there i will try that.

 

[Foxman]

I will still launch on you! LOL

 

[beejay31000]

reaction time or 60' ?

 

[Foxman]

both, my mach 1 had a nasty launch even with the 6 speed! I should have done spray on that damn thing!

 

[beejay31000]

my car would launch good if i could hook up. i bet if i had slicks it would be near unbeatable.

 

[blackstallion06]

Just put on some Mickey Tompson Drag Radials you will be happy

 

[beejay31000]

why not full slicks?

 

[Foxman]

the ride for daily driving... if there a second tire..get full slicks...but if you want to drive all the time on them drag radials


hey i remember you saying somthing about if you had nitrous you would be spraying every where........ With Supercharger and turbo, thats pretty much what your doing...

 

[beejay31000]

i know....but i dont have to refill a turbo...ya know.

 

[Foxman]

20 bucks.. to fill a bottle maybe 30.. and that means it is easier on the engine, because like me you wont be able to fill it all the time!
