which y-pipe?

If you can do that with a 2.29 then I know that I can get a 14.5 with a y-pipe + intake... nice job!

What are your guys' launch techniques. I was having a hard time getting a 2.2 last time.

i usually get a 2.1 .. shooting for a 2.0

I let the front tires down to 23 PSI
I rev the car up to 4500 rpm
I slipp the clutch out slowly and never getting off the clutch till i am 2nd gear.. however not riding the clutch.. but slightly being on it till i hook perfectly

so its a Rev high.. slip it out and feather it

I thought that slipping the clutch = riding the clutch, eiher way you're gonna kill your clutch

my best is a 2.21

front tires around 22, back at 35. I pop the clutch at 2700 (this number will depend on your tracks conditions) the I let off the gas fast to stop wheel spin.. then once I know I'm not going to spin I puch the gas until the rest is history

drag racing on a hold is killing your clutch

If I can come off the line close to 3500 rpms with just a little wheel spin and hop, then I'm in the upper 2.2s. I haven't been able to get any better than a 2.25. If I spin a bit too much or I get caught under 3500 rpms, then I'm in the 2.3s. Launching these cars is a *****!!! I guess I could slip the clutch, but I don't want to have to get a new clutch. I usually rev up to 3500, quickly release it, feed it some gas, and hope for the best. If I could get a 2.0 on drag radials, I'd be VERY happy. A 2.0 should net me a 14.3 or so.
