If you post a time slip it would really help. What's your 60' time? What's your trap speed? I'm guessing your 60' time is pretty high and that your are spinning on launch. What RPMs are you leaving at? Lots of variables here to give advice without more info.

For reference, at Camaro5Fest this weekend, I put down a 12.1 on stock tires (fully aired), on a 1.884 60' time at 115MPH. I was happy with it considering my DR's were sitting back home in the garage.

That's an AWESOME 60' on stock tires - what RPM did you leave at?

And what Mode?

Thanks! I launch around 1000-1200 RPMs. I typically run in PTM 5, but this past weekend I tried PTM 4 (mainly because of my stock tires) and was happy with the results. All 4 of my runs were sub 2.0 sec 60' times. I am going to try PTM 4 at home on my DRs and see what happens.

I also backed into the water box every time, something I don't usually do at home, so I am going to have to try that too.

My goal by the end of the season is to run a 11.5 ET.

Try Launch control, are you getting the car too hot waiting to make your run? Your running at least 91 octane i am assuming. R/T ? I can get those times with just a rotofab intake and stock tires in florida heat

Was using PTM 5 but wasn't using my launch control I did try it feels like theres a dead spot at take off not sure if its in the tune they did at SLP. I will try launch control Friday during test & tune at commerce ga.

2.08 is not good. Either you are too tenative or the car is bogging slightly. Please post the entire slip to see the splits. I would turn all of the traction control devices off and run like that with drag radials. The M6 cars I have seen posted here never run well in the PTM modes or using launch control with drag radials.

cam99 · 08-05-2013, 04:26 PM

turn off all traction controls, heat up the dr's well, run about 18psi in them, find the launch rpm that doesn't bog and doesn't spin. probably around 4000-4500 slipping the clutch slightly as you launch, don't just dump the clutch. What mph are you getting?

1BadDad · 08-06-2013, 06:17 AM

been getting 115 to 116
