But I can!
The recipe:
Mickey Thompson 255/50/16 ET Street radials, 16 psi, -0.6 degrees rear camber, 0.1* rear toe-in, Wavetrac diff, well prepped track, 1500 RPM brake stall, then: WOT. No wheel spin. 1.7 60 times.
Oh, and a short burn out. Not too long. The tires get greasy if they get too hot.
I could use a little help here too. I run the same tires as you the
Mickey Thompson 255/50/16 ET Street radials. My car on the 100 shot pushes 463 whp and 490 ftlbs of torque. I am at 7000 ft so elevation is a pain to say the least. I can not best a 1.79 60ft which is the same I was getting on streets. I run 11.68 best at the track here.
Do you spin your tires through the water or skip it on these tires?
I use nos out of the hole launching at 1500-2000 rpms, does not seem to spin but 60fts still are not close to what I am looking for.
