HI,
I need some insight into on my quarter mile times!
I ran twice tonight, my traction was so poor I was spinning in second gear. One thing that did remain the same was my trap speed. Can anyone help with these numbers? What would be my real ET's numbers if I had traction? Would that even be possible to find out? I have no doubt about that I could get 9's in the 660 if I had traction.
60-2.758
660-10.476
ET-16.045
MPH-88.802
60-2.863
660-10.938
ET-16.526
MPH-88.722

I have the same trap speed and my ets are around 15.2. I am getting 2.0 to 2.1 60' times but I am still spinning too much in second. I think I could get 15.00 if I didnt spin in second.

YOUR TYRES CANT BE TACKY ENOUGH.
Are you burning em up before you launch or
are you running cold? Tacky tyres should be
your first bet.

Doing a big smokey burn-out works if you have real tires! Otherwise your just gonna make it worse. your standard radials dont handle high temps to well, they tend to get slimy, not tacky.
A Quick dry hop is all you need. now if you go get a set of drag radials or even full slicks, have at it, do your best john force, but until then dont bother.

I thought I had a LSD with the 3.92, only to find that I'm driving a ONE WHEEL WONDER! So, do I get a powertrax? Tires? or just be happy that I drive a pretty freakin' quick truck?

your 60 ft time is not all that good, so your mph will be faster. The quicker your 60 ft the lower the mph. What i have found with my 2k qc, and i learned from when i drag raced bikes. Usually every 10th you cut from your 60 ft could result in an extra 2 10th's off you 1/4 mile time.
I think this will be the case for you once you get some traction
My best 60 ft with my 2k 4.7 5 spd LSD 3.55 is 2.13 1/4 in 15.75 @ 84 mph when my 60 ft is 2.2 or 2.3 i run usally a 15.9 or 16.0 @ 86 mph.
