Happy Birthday Joe!
Not to hi-jack, but curious of the difference in cam and converter size from the swap Theofel?

The larger set-up was with a 241/259 on a 113 with a 4000 Yank stall. Only had it at the track once and it was a hot and muggy day. Turned an 10.76 and a 10.79 @ 127mph with a DA of +850. I think it would have run in the 10.6's with some cooler dryer weather. Just to much cam and converter for my taste..on a daily driver. Replaced the cam with Spinmonster 230/234 on a 114+2 and had the converter re-tweaked by Yank to a 3600. Drives real nice on my 62,000 mile 08. Had this set-up to the track twice and turned a 10.81 and a 10.83@124mph with a DA of -600.

Thanks for the birthday wishes gents! Who would have guessed Theofel and I are the same day, with Rapid Rick one day behind.

I know this is an old thread but I am trying to learn how to launch my 02 Z better and it seems like Joe has this figured out. My question is what suspension setup were you running to be able to get 1.4 60ft?

A good resource when starting out is Ranger's website, pay attention to the launch techniques and the clutch care.

A key to my success is my 4.10 rear I added and 2.97 first gear my car came with, along with the shortest tires I can get, 275/40/17 or 315/35/17 Mickey Thompsons (315's only fit on the c6 wide body so use the 275's.).
Here's an in car video of how I do it. I floor the car as the tree is coming down and walk out the clutch slowly, but not too slowly. I start to release the clutch about 5k and it revs to 6 or so before it starts to engage. It's a feel I have after doing it 497 times in my car.

Bone stock suspension.
