ran the 1/8th mile

so i've got a question, what do you guys launch at? i ran my truck down the 1/8th mile last friday night. She went 9.06, cant remember how fast(i dont have the time slip in front of me). I left on 10lbs and had a 60' of 1.95. Is that good? i was on Eric's Xtreme Street tune.

What do you all normally leave at? i boosted to 30lbs on the 2nd run and she wheel hopped something fierce. I didnt get a chance to try on 20lbs, but maybe next time... I thought i would at least get into the 8's... but maybe that soft launch was why.

How much air pressure were you running in the tires?

yeah its hard to find that fine line of hopping/spinning and maximum boost you can run. i would like to see the 60' times in the 1.8 1.7 range if you can and that should pick your times up nicely. i dont know all your other stats like cclb ccsb ect tire size all that would help

I had a 1.93 60ft running launching a 25PSI with 50PSI in the tires, but I have 6 of them and I still broke them loose, so it sounds to me like your 60ft could be a tenth or two better

yeah i ran 1.88 with 35's air up to 50 psi all the way around and i know there are better times left in these tires...

yea, i had full air pressure in the tires. also, the truck is a CC SB F250. Weighed in at 7470lbs with me in it.

I'd say take her down to 25 in the tires and try 20PSI boost launch, if you hook, keep stepping it up 2 or 3 PSI until you break'em loose, yeah you times should get way better, my 60FT was with 9500lb truck

i'll try that next time. thanks a lot for the help! i'm also going to try eric's Xtreme Race Stud tune next time. Hopefully i'll see mid 8's in the 1/8th mile.

wow thats light 6.0 are so much lighter than 6.4. I would say you should see your times down in the 1.7x range if everything goes good tire pressure should help a ton.

You wont get mid 8's but 8.8-8.9 I could see. Ohio Valley? I'd love to run again but my truck has nausea, it keeps puking.
