yeah whenever I see peeps with lowerin springs complainin bout gettin outta the hole seem to forget this changes the I/C of the car(for those that want an education...http://www.baselinesuspensions.com/i...er_general.php)...the GM boys did a pretty damn good job IMHO on these cars from the factory...address the weak items due to the bean counters and shes good to go...

lower T/A's and the sub-frame inserts made all the diff for me....

regarding the meth...my knowledge base on this is so far at the very early stages...can it be set to come on in a progressive fashion like N2O? seems to me if your gonna put bigger rubber in back you could start the meth hit at launch...and then just ramp it up to 100% as fast as she can take it....good luck OP...peace

btw - just so...here is last Sunday...used my buddies Hoosiers(way to tall..diff story) as a test...when all said and done was at 16psi and left the line at 6000rpm...check my back to the track 2018 for the vid...below is a great pic of everything workin and hookin...l8tr

Thank you! Yes stock ported 1.9 L blower/snout from a 5” intake into 102 mm NW TB.

I agree on moving the I/C with lowering springs. These Cars sit way too high from the factory. I think that was my first mod after like 2 days. 1.5 - 1.6 sixty has been done on his setup with the small tire. 15” conversion should help a lot with current suspension mods on the right tire.

I’m not breaking anything right now and making passes which i need right now. Car should dip some more on current setup in the right air.

That’s a great idea but I haven’t seen any progressive Meth controllers out there yet. Another thing that could go wrong IMO. I believe it is hitting so much harder on this combo because of larger distribution into the motor. Everything got bigger where the Meth is fed. Twin nozzle versus single into a 5” intake versus 4”. 102 mm vs factory ported TB. Re-ported 1.9L snout and blower. Meth hits very hard right now!

I believe ProMeth has a progressive controller. Hit Rodney up if it's something you're interested in.

Interesting. I was not aware that the ProMeth system had a progressive controller. We have very similar builds and the same tuner I believe. Sounds like you experienced the same Meth direct hit and went progressive?

Thanks for the heads up!

No, I purchased a direct port meth kit from ProMeth, but I recently sold it. I just remember Rodney said that he will have a progressive controller available some time early spring.

Awesome passes there. It's a fun time figuring out how to launch these heavy cars with an m6. I've tried a 2 step, line lock, foot brake and even using the E brake. Now with an lsa installed I'll have to start all over lol. If I can ask what are you using off the line?

Definitely check out prometh. They have the whole lid setup and everything

https://prometh.com/products/lsa-cam...nt=32568798798

Check them out. It says you can also send them your lid as well. I would hit them up, it's a solid kit.

Thanks Man. Definitely a struggle getting a decent sixty’ with these heavy M6 blower cars. I’m just slipping the clutch around 4000-4500 rpm right now. Thinking about using the e-brake with clutch slip next. Then add the 2-step if the 60 starts going down. Car should be low 10s with a 1.5 sixty.
