Every car is different, I launch around 4.5k, but my motor lacks torque, where as Bill's has plenty of torque. So he could probably launch a little lower and put that power to use.

i've been up at the track ones...

and i can honestly say that i'm as consistent as adam.

i consistently bog! bleh!

werd!

Let's do it again and maybe I'll take it for a spin down the strip sometime.

I agree 100%. Its all about practice. When I first started drag racing, I was pulling off 2.2 and 2.0 60ft times, and my times were effected by them. But with a little practice, and the proper clutch slippage, I can pull of consistent 1.8 60ft. times when lauching at 4.5k. I don't want to lauch at any higher of an RPM, or else my trans might spill its guts along the starting line.

This is why nailing down your launch and getting your 60ft time down to a min. is so important.

-Adam
I just wish I had the courage, or the money to pull off 1.7 60ft. times like those that own STi's. I have read numerous stories of 6k RPM launches with no ill effects on their trannies. I got to get back out there and run my car again. Maybe sometime very soon.

Anyway the goal is a 11.6 right now, and not just once, but consistently around 11.8 all day every day.

Cheers,
Bill
No, you WILL need a rollbar per NHRA rules for any car 11.99 or quicker.

Throw a FP Green on that bad boy, run 118 octane, and turn up the boost, and HELLO 11's!!!
