M6 launch on drag radials - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

ddck24 · 04-29-2014, 07:29 PM

Track trip this last weekend was a disaster...
Car would hook solid and just fall on its face.
I am running a 3.42 rearend w a mantic9000 clutch.
I even tried revving to 4k rpms still hooked and fell on its face..
Anyone have tips for getting a m6 w a grabby clutch like the mantic outta the hole hard? Was at my wits ends.. Haha I know w some practice ill eventually get better, but man it's frustrating!!
Btw it's a ysi car, with 17" 295/45 et street II's at 16psi cold.

More air in the tires and a higher rpm launch

ddck24 · 04-29-2014, 08:09 PM

True^^ will try bout 20psi next time out and adjust from there
To be honest I was dumbfounded when it dead hooked (never had that problem haha).. Couldn't hardly believe it

Turbo99 · 04-29-2014, 09:18 PM

I ran my Mickey Thompson DR at 17psi and launch about 4200-4300 before I put some more gear in the car.

Bo White · 04-29-2014, 10:06 PM

4500-5000rpm is what Ive understood for successful launches.

ddck24 · 04-29-2014, 10:08 PM

Dang Bo.. Will have to giver her a little more steam then.. Lol

Did it look something like this? I struggle with a similar problem.

YSI - M6 with Mcleod RXT.
About 10 passes on this set up and I still cant get better than a 1.9 60ft -11.5 @ 128 with 18in F14 nitto NT50R
disregard comments on video, its not a pro charger but a vortech ysi

swiftkart · 05-01-2014, 11:26 AM

Mantic900 here and no problems being grabby, 4,000-4,500rpm and slip it right out of the hole, 700rwhp maggie, slipping it off the line is the key, the clutch will handle it very well.

chalhoee · 05-01-2014, 11:02 PM

I'm exited to throw a RXT on my car along with some Stage 4 Axles! Before I was launching at 4k off the 2-Step on 555R's (stock clutch, stock rear-end) best time has been 12.7@117 .. over 4k altitude though

Powhusku · 05-02-2014, 10:11 AM

Guess I should watch this thread. In the process of putting on a V3si and a Mantic 9000 with 3.91s and the same tires on my wishlist. I guess the consensus is around 20 psi in the tires and slip out at 4500-5000?

caverman · 05-04-2014, 10:31 PM

I don't know that I would say the consensus is 20 psi. I ran the other night on some used 18" MT ET Streets at 17 psi. I also use a Raptor shift light to help launch. Leaving at about 4K was the best for the night but I think I'm going to go up to 4200 - 4300 next time. With a decent burn out I never spun nor bogged down.

What was your 60'??

caverman · 05-05-2014, 02:03 PM

The best I got for the night was 1.93 60'.

I didn't really get as good of a burn out as I wanted though. I was trying to get a routine going and the first few runs I would goof something up. Anything from not setting the brake pressure good enough, to not getting both tires wet so it would get sideways on the burnout, to not getting the RPMs up high enough.

I think once I get a good routine down and find the best way to launch I'll bring both the 60' and ET down.
