Re:went to the track last night**PICS**
like stealth said, unless you have slicks burning out is pointless, by the time you make it to the line the heat has dispursed....other than that i cant really tell ya, im still working on my launches too, 2.6 60's for me, on 17's, which doesnt help at all

Boost/FwD/Short Gears, and street tires. My kind of Guy. Traction is just a few thousand bucks around the corner. Just kidding man, but your definately going to need some better rubber and some stiff springs.. Good luck with the racing in the future and yes i think you can hit 13's

Re:went to the track last night**PICS**
when your in the burnout box.. you dont have to ping the rev limiter..breakem loose let them spin for a couple of seconds so they warm up. or go race *** soon as you get to the track when your tires are still warm..you spinning through first is typical of someone racing for the first time. you have a nice setup.. a fast car is good but you have to practice your launches. the more practice you get the faster your times will be. good luck get a video for us

Everyone has already givin you good advise.
Stay out of the water box. Just give the tire a quick spin,to kick any rocks off, and invest in some slicks. 22x8x15 work great
Your set up is simillar to my freinds. He's best on BFG's is 13.31 Just keep practicing.Go every chance you get.g/l.

The joys of tire spin...
I know this too well..my car's best time was a 14.5 @ 105mph with a 2.6 60ft's. My car at the time was boosting only 8psi on a semi built b16 running a T3/TO4E. GOod luck.
What I was told was try to ride on the clutch on take off until the tires hook up.

Re:went to the track last night**PICS**
damn, i thought my 1/4 et's were shitty :P my best is a 14.0 at 102, that was on 10 psi. i'm running a stock clutch though and it slips all the way to redline just about the whole way down the track. you're 60 ft. times are horrible. my first time at the track i was pullin 2.2's if you got your 60 ft.'s down, you could shave a second off that time easily! get some new tires :P
