at first it was very tricky

1st run forgot the e brake up
2nd run when i squatted the front wheels moved paste the staging lights (i was like come on let me go come on )
i realized the slick weren't warm enough so i adjusted my e brake and could hold the burn out longer
3rd was the 1.9 60 ft
4th last run i smoked the tires good. first time i saw smoke come up the front and sides >:D (put a big smile on my face)

your are using second gear for the burnouts right?????

Hold rpms at 6000, went the slicks get hot enough they will drag the locked rears thru the water box.

One night at the track, I was in the last pair to run, drug the back tires all the way to the staging beams.

Ballsy little Z6 I had.

i've always found that to be too much of a burnout and it says on mickey thompsons website that the rubber was designed for a small burnout

Mind you I've went thru three pairs of these slicks, I know what they like. ONLY issue I had was running a 6" rim I'd wear the edges out first.

sorry carl... note to self: send out 1 unspun rod bearing, and get dyno access for tuning, as street tuning is only marginal...

are you using ectune now?
