I made 5 passes and the track was dead hooking but only ran ~1.95 60's
I tried leaving at 1200 1500 1800 1900 did not seem to really make a diference?

All runs in S auto and in Comp mode

Felt like a good air night but the DA was 3100'

What do you think is holding me back?

IMO, two things:

1) Limitations in the transmission/torque management tuning, hidden tables etc or simply no tuning yet at all if you haven't had any.

2) Stock torque converter and stock gearing.

I'd noticed the exact same thing in running my A6 stock, no matter how I launched, no matter what the weather was or how strong the car felt that day the sixty foots remained stuck in the same damn tight (1.88 - 1.92) range, when I dead hooked that is.

 

1.9's are the best for me so far...Hoping to improve that if any of the tire companies get a dr on the market in stock size. You guy hear your tires spinning(whistling) on your 1-2 and 2-3 shift....? If the car would ever actually hook like it should, I think low 11's are in it. So far a 12.05(2.0 60ft) is the best, but that was at 47 degrees and lower at the track and on run flats stock pressure , full tank of gas and before I slapped the FAST intake in.

 

NO mine is not spinning at all, stck base tires with a short burnout 28-25psi depending on conditions

The Nitto Invo and Pirelli PZero Corsa Asimmetrico are the best tires in stock sizes both ae ver sticky 60-100 treadwear

Pirelli P Zero Corsa developed for the drivers of high-powered, super sports cars primarily for use at drivers' schools and lapping days conducted on race tracks. Also Original Equipment for the road versions of Ferrari 360 Challenge and Porsche GT3 cars, the P Zero Corsa System was designed to maximize a car's performance and satisfy even the most demanding driver in terms of dry handling and braking without abandoning wet performance and noise comfort.
P Zero Corsa Asimmetrico's asymmetrical design features a semi-slick, low void ratio and a large external shoulder structure with a minimum number of grooves to eliminate the blocky structure of a conventional pattern. The Asimmetrico's asymmetric and directional tread design requires separate "left" and "right" side tires for the vehicle as branded on each tire's sidewall. On the inside, the P Zero Corsa System Asimmetrico tires feature highly flexible steel belts reinforced by spirally wound nylon to enhance steering precision and provide high-speed capability while reducing weight.

Nitto Invo Leading a new wave of innovation, the INVO is Nitto's new flagship ultra-high performance tire. Developed using the latest technology, the INVO's revolutionary tread design offers the perfect balance between art and engineering. The INVO provides a quiet and comfortable ride while maintaining the ability to provide tremendous traction in both dry and wet conditions. The asymmetrical, non-directional, tread design with twin water-dispersion grooves and lateral slits effectively provide wet traction while the silica-reinforced tread blocks deliver superior lateral and longitudinal grip in dry conditions.
•Silica-reinforced tread compound reduces tread flex for excellent road biting traction.
•Tread blocks on the outer shoulder provide maximum contact patch for dry traction.
•Continuous inner shoulder tread and sipes provide improved traction under dry or wet conditions.

 

EDIT DA was 3100

 

I've looked at both tires before and the Pzeros are close to the PS2s and the Nitto I didn't go with because they told me there should be a true 19inch dr on the market soon. $400.00+ per tire is just nutty for the Pzeroes and PS2's , esp. with the limited tread life. The whistling I referred to was caused, I belive , by the tires and track being so cold. I did a nice burn out, but was at stock psi and the night before the temp had dropped into the teens, so even with good track prep and a high that day of 47, the track was still a slab.Hopefully I can make it down sometime soon and post some new numbers for everyone.I'd be happy to break into the 1.8's 60ft, that alone would bring 11.9's for me.

 

Pirelli PZero Corsa Asimmetrico is a 60 tread wear
and the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 is a 220 (the plain pzero is also 220)

the big power vipers say the asimmetrico works well.

My friend is running the Nitto Invo (100 treadwear I think) on his 490/590RWHP motor/spray C6ZO6 and they hook well on the street for him

The Asimmetrico and Invo are alot closer to dr's than a ps2 IMO

 

Oh they do make the Invo in stock C6 sizes now?
Nice.

*I just looked it up, they do make them, it says 260 treadwear though, not as soft as I'd like but still a good deal on a decent tire.

 

yepper...the pzero is like the ps2, $400.00+.....each!! I didn't mean to state the wear quality or traction was the same. BTW, doesn't the bfg drag radial have a better treadwear life than these at 60?

 

While they might actually wear just as well (though that's not likely) in some cases, I don't think that the BFG drag radials even have an actual treadwear rating, I think it's 0.

 

are you shifting yourself? and if not, which mode are you using?

 

I'm using "s" mode, which, I belive is the most popular for the strip. I tried the paddles at the strip for a run or two and I just couldn't keep up..lol...I'm ashamed to say it, but 1-2 comes soooo fast. It comes on quicker than any manuals I've driven. It could be because of the mods I've done too. My 60ft was best in my second paddle run, though, a low 1.9, so there is a ton of potential. "S" mode is so consistant and strong , though, it's hard to stay away.

 

I'm about 1 1/2 hours from the track and drove my BFG DR's there and back about 25 times over two years and about 300 runs(and burnouts) with my 547rwhp trans am and still have them in my building. There's probally over half the tread left I have heard PS2 and BFG KDW2 owners complain that they get 3-6K miles and have to swap. I think for dr's , the bfg's hold up pretty well. I just can't justify $400 a tire for the p zeros or PS2 right now on a car that'll be my daily driver and still have similar handling and worse wear than the runflats. The best 60ft I've read of for the PS2 is 1.8's and I think thats been topped with stock runflats.

 

Im surpirsed nobody gave you kudos for consistency.
those are the most consistent runs ive seen.
good job!

 

S auto and Comp mode

 

My thoughts EXACTLY. Put that thing in the money lanes and fill your pockets!! I WISH I could get that kind of consistency.

 

What were your 1/8 times? And thats why i bought an auto,very CONSIST.

 

8.1 at 89-90

 

It was right infront of me-Wow i must be burnt today
