No... that was right.. a trap of 95-96 would be REQUIRED to pull off a 15.0x with a 2.5x 60'.. plain and simple.

not a maybe.. your differential is SCREAMING at you to take it easy.

For an optimum launch, I rev to about 2800rpms. At the line I'll let the clutch pedal out until it's almost about to grab. Once ready(when I get the green), I start to slip the clutch and rev the motor to keep the rpms at about 2800-3100rpms. Once you've got a little momentum and you've completely let out on the clutch pedal, you'll be right at the point of your secondaries opening and your powerband begins. After that you're on your own.

3: ------------------"YOU RUN ? W/ 3.0L???"
1: Bold statement you've made there. First off, YES you are WRONG! You will NOT run a 15.0 with a 2.55 60' time. I now see that you've changed your mind on what you ran, and conveniently changed your 60' time to a 2.25. When you want to come back with your timeslip, we'll talk.
2: Maybe? You're not talking to a newbie that's never broken a part on his car! You're talking to someone that frequents the dragstrip probably 10-12 times a year, blown a motor, 2 trannies, etc.. I know what it takes to break parts!
3: I ran a 14.4 with my 3.0L. Can't wait to hear what you've got to say about that! 
Again, when you want to come back with FACTS, and not made up BULLSH!T, we'll talk. Until then, STFU!

AGAIN 2.25 sorry bout that didnt realize my misprint.  2.5 would be a slow pass. agin not made up. dont care if you believe or not. well i guess i do care, because if it is soo hard to believe that im doing that, and i am, then i deserve props not bashing. i know breaking stuff sucks. ive turned a wrench or 2. also what was your 60 ? mph?

racerbox77 - I've come to the conclusion that you are not going to listen to anything I've said. I've tried helping you, but you are going about it like an ignorant newb. You've been on the boards for a mere 15 days and you think you know it all? I'm now backing away, and will let you believe your own fictional stories.

Im about 45 minutes from Norwalk Raceway. You?
