60' 1.6390
330 4.8242
594' 6.9049
1/8 7.3732
1/8mph 96.10
1/4et 11.4271
1/4mph 118.34


My other passes looked more like this:

60' 1.9132
330 5.0528
594 7.1222
1/8 7.5918
1/8mph 95.80
1/4et 11.594
1/4mph 119.04

let's disect this turd. not impressed with it for 560 rwhp.
Thats a great 60 time. I can only get slightly better on drag radials. You are losing a lot to the 8th though. I would guess your spinning somewhere after the launch.

it was spinning some at the top of first gear and some in second. just feel the 1/4 mph should be quite a bit higher regardless ????

I'm surprised you have that much tire pressure in street tires...I was thinking like 18 psi..so Invos aren't that bad. After a couple of near crashes with the TC off I'm skished about going WOT on a launch..warmmed the tires are better control...I may have to get a line lock for burn outs.

MPH is def low for that rwhp, but what was the DA at the track the time you ran?
