So Went To The Drag Strip For The First Time In My 8 And The Best Time I Could Get Out Of It Was A 15.2 At 88mph With A 2.3 60ft. What Are You Guys Shifting At And What Are You Guys Launching At To Get Into The 14's
Any Suggestions And Dont Say That This Car Is Not Ment For The Drag Strip Please. Just Doing It For Fun And Want To Get The Most Out Of The Car. The Way It Is

 

I Think You Should Search For The Answer Since This Question Has Been Asked And Answered A Few Times. 7k Launch Is The Normal And You Should Be Able To Get A Much Lower Number.

I Like Typing Like This... It's Like The All Caps I Win Button With A Twist.

 

what should i be revving to 9500 8500 9000 idk

 

You've done well. That's normal for a stock 8.

 

as i said.. 7k launch

 

i know the rev limiter is 9500 just saying right before 9100 to 9400 will try the 7k launch thanks for the help.. dont know if this is a big deal but i have an intake too

 

launch at 4.5k, feather/ride the clutch out.

shift at 9.3k.

 

^^^^ said.
and maybe lower the rear tire pressue..

beers

 

i think i might just put that in my signature. its been asked so many times...

 

what do you mean by feather it lets say your holding the rpm at 45k and the light terns green then what

 

it means control the release of the clutch. dont dump it. as to why you would want to do that you are going to have to read around a bit.

beers :beers:

 

thanks for all your help

 

yeah, just work on the launch, times will improve
