          • thanks everyone, here are the 3 runs i made today all new best

            was rushing and red lighted and only left at 3psi, ran 6.2@116 w/1.55 60'

            this is the run earlier, left at 7psi, 1.49 60', track held good, went 6.1@117

            final run of the next, upped the 2 step a few hundred rpm but the track was fading fast, held it right out of hole but spun hard a few feet out, had to let completely out, went 6.3@115mph w/a 1.55 60'

                Thanks! I'm sure people are going to hate on me for a lot more then my funny car burnouts (to my defense Dan told me to do that last time I was at the track and I've made the best passes ever pass since!).

                I feel like I've got the MPH to be in the 5's, I just haven't been able to throw everything at it off the line yet. I still have a little more I can throw at it timing wise and 2 step, just need to get the short game down before I worry about more hp!

                  • I've complimented him on his car many times (in other threads), and offered solutions to his overheating problem. And yes, burnouts past the staging lights in a street car is a pet peeve of mine. It's a waste of everyone's time. If that makes me a dick, add me to your ignore list.

                      I can understand that, although I have found that I hook better when I do it (might be a fluke, might be because I am getting the tires hotter rolling them out of the burnout further, might be because I am laying down rubber, etc.), but it's not wasting much time at all, matter of fact I was the first car staged on 2 out of 3 of the runs.

                      I really didn't take any offense, I know some folks think it's goofy or retarded for a "street car" to do it, but for me it's helped and I'd hope others can handle the extra 5 seconds it takes me to roll back! Some folks out there take a lot longer just sitting around reving or one wheel peeling!

                                I burn mine out everytime past the staging area. I do it to make sure the tires are cleaned and when I feel it hooking up I know it is going to get out of the hole good. If people don't like it, screw it I don't really give a shit. My car gets the best 60fts when I roll out the burn when I hear and feel the tires start hooking. James you don't have to sit there and do a long burn out, just heat them up and roll it out like you been doing. It works it hooks and your car has gone faster since.
