i started out at 15 lbs, spun all threw first. sliped and slid the whole track. lowered it to 10 lbs, sliped threw all 4 gears. went down to 8 psi, launched at 4000 rpms, sliped, hooked, bogged. then i tried 3500 rpms feathered the clutch hooked reved great and got my best 60 ft with the slicks. but the spun on the 1-2 shift then chirped every gear after that. maybe they are just crappy slicks. i dont know what the problem was. can the humidity cause that much of a change in times. the track temp was right around 130 degs. the only thing i cant understand is i was doing everything like my last time at the track ( 13.50 on bald goodyear eagle f-1s ) why is it so different? a stock 98 cobra was running 13.50 @ 103 all day long, he made me look stupid out there.
