+ Ditch the 19" wheels for drag racing, they are shit. Go with Kosei K1-Racing 17" and the Hoosiers to suit (as documented elsewhere)
Should give you potential for 1.6 short time. Will carve at least half a second off your ET with same power.

Thanks for the tips Kenny.

Not hard at all. It just takes patience and practice.

Drag radials or Race Fuel should see you there 
Richard, I have no idea how you get your 60ft times! On the RE-11's if I rev it to what you do, it spins on the spot and all the way through 1st!
Don't think I will be out again until I get a set of drag rims, keep telling myself they arent needed though :P |
Thanks Michael. Yes if the traps were a bit higher, say 115-117mph I would already be there
I'll eventually get DR's as well but I'd like to run consistent 11s on street tyres. I think that's a pretty big achievement as there's not too many cars on the street that can do that.

Michael, has to be the tyres. I think the highest i launched was about 2300rpm with no wheel spin. Sure pushed me back into my seat though!

2300rpm!
In my car brake-boosting at 2300rpm = burnout!
