New best 1/4 time but not what expected
I went to GLD last night and ran a 15.510@89.60. Since the last time I raced there, I have added a JWT Pop Charger, and also did a weight reduction(spare, mat, other junk). I got a 2.29 60ft time, better that my other times, but I thought with the pop charger, you lose low end, and gain top end. I was hoping for 15.4 but maybe next year. Also, I have horrible wheel hop. How can I prevent this??
Thanks!
Thanks!

Now I know I suck. I went last night and I couldn't break 16 even with the list of mods that I have. My best was 16.040@88.60. Is the a method to this launching time I know I should be faster. Timing was adavnced to it brought me from 16.4 to 16.0.

hehe, a VE five speed is pulling the kind of times I might be able to with a good launch.
Really, it sounds like you just need practice. Was this your first time at the drag strip?

I was launching ok but wheelhop played a big factor in my 60ft. This is my third time racing my car there, but I used to race my old truck there.

No aftermarket suspension stuff done to my car. Is there any one thing that will prevent wheel hop, stabilizer bar, subframe connectors, etc?
