Time slip. Not impressive lol

Okay so I went to Sonoma Raceway and ran the fastest time of 12.7 had flex fuel at 79% alcohol, longtube 1 7/8, to borla sport exhaust, Steeda Tri ax, lowered on sport linear's boomba lower control arms, BMR CBO05 kit, steeda extreme G track brace, BMR motor mounts, UPR catch can, clean side can and UPR crankcase pressure release valve with filter. SO braided clutch line. Amsoil motor oil. BG tranny and diff oil. Pmas cold air intake with Lund flex-fuel tune. I know the car has a lot more in it I just need to get my launching down and make my 60-foot a lot better. Best 60-foot was a 2.1. Pulls really nice ones i get good traction. I still get a tiny bit sideways even when I shift into 4th but mainly first second and third are traction issues. I'm surprised I still have wheel hop. on the street I don't, but the track I had a lot first second and a little bit in 3rd. I have the 325 Continental Tires that just went discontinued. I know they're not drag tires but they hook decent when warm on turns and at low rpm launch. aside from the wheel hop on hard launches. (I race drag and road coarses) The best results I had was taking off at very low RPMs which was the 12.7 Run but I got in the wrong class and was limited on runs. I have a video on my Instagram oocp408

That mph is definitely in the 11's,to be honest u will need some drag radials to get your best et.

Yea I feel you on that. I want to upgrade my half shafts before I do that. The way I like to launch I'd snap the hell out of them. Lol.

I forgot to add that I also have koni front struts and Steeda rear shocks if I remember correctly I have the front set at three quarter turns from full soft, And the rears one and a half from full soft. Still trying to dial in my settings, but does anyone have a suggestion for drag setup and road course setup also Street driving if you don't mind. The reason why I have two different brands is because I got a hell of a deal on the fronts before I could buy the rears LOL.when i got the rears I was planning to go full Steeda at one point

Yeah, I went 12.3 @116 getting a 1.9 60ft slipping the clutch and feathering out the throttle from about 2500-3k rpms in first then on and off the throttle in 2nd to keep wheel hop to a minimum then full throttle in 3rd-4th. This was on worn P-zeros at about 24psi or so.

Is that with mods in sig?

What gets me is I have mods thay are supposed to pretty much get rid of wheel hop, but from my experience yesterday it's far frI'm gone. I guess toe links and upper control arm would be my next mod to help with that.

Maybe given the frustration and super slow 60' "the way you like to launch" is the problem. Just sayin.

It is the problem. I stated that. Stated I need to fix my 60ft. Witch is the launch. I've been trying RPMs from 2500 to 3200. All too high. Best results I had was rolling out off idle, but I would also have to baby second and ease into 3rd. I'm used to a 4000 stalled auto that just goes. Practice makes perfect. I've just been accustomed to going all out from the go. Need to just be calm and take off slower. Atleast until I have axles and slicks so I can dump the clutch at 3500 or 4k..

I've found a two thousand one, Two thousand two count. Works very well. Launch at an RPM that is aggressive but wont spin the tires. Release the clutch and ad in the throttle using the count above. Will most likely improve you're sixty and rid a lot of the wheel hop. If you entend to drag the car a lot. Do yourself a favor and invest in a set of hoosier slicks.

Take 2 tenths off the 60 ft which you definitely can and even with that same wheel spin you'll see 12.2 12.3 most likely

A little clutch slip off the line has gotten me my best 60 foots, but I dare not do it often.

Yes I ran that time with the mods in my sig. Like I said I was pedaling the car till 3rd gear because the worn stock pzeros are terrible at the track. You will never get rid of wheel hop at the track on stock tires. You have to run slicks to completely get rid of it. Drag radials I believe would be better but I have heard some complain that they can still have substantial hop. I think DR's will still be much better if your not too aggressive.

Thanks brotha! I will look into that. I will just need to take it easy and not launch that hard. I guess I'm just disappointed because the parts I bought were to eliminate wheel hop and it's far from gone. (At The track), so I guess that mainly applies to street driving.
