Can't seem to beat pb 60' time...
 
I went back to etown for the first time since last season. My managed a best of 14.78 @ 93.6 with a 2.35 60'. I took out spare, jack, passenger seat and mats. I had 1/2 tank of gas and was riding on my stock sawblades with new rubber set @ 24psi. Mods are still intake and ypipe. My stock clutch doesn't grab as hard as the last time I've been to the track. I launched at 2k riding the clutch and shifting 1-2 @ redline, 2-3 @ 6.2k, and 3-4 @ 6k. I'm pretty happy with my 93mph traps but my 60' times are really hoding me back. I can see better than 14.7s with a better launch. I can't seem to even get into the 2.2s anymore. Any help?

try riding the clutch out at 3500. or get some real sticky rubber and just dump it. :)

maybe your tires are wearing out ? im not sure.. with my setup the only way i think i could get a better 60 foot is to launch at a higher rpm. if i hook maybe i could do better.
