The track was litterally bucketed down with water and is so narrow you can't drive around it. I bested only a 14.4. Both Runs have 60ft in the 2.2-2.3 range. Obviously there is a huge drivers error factor, but what suspension set-up will give me the best Daily driven results.

I was thinking...

Eibach Drag launch springs
some kind of adj shock and strut package (suggestions)
Upper and Lower Control Arms (I like the UPR and Mac-anyone running these?)

Also, anyone got some tips for me as far as Launch RPMs, tire pressure. etc

I usually launch around 2K and keep my street tires no lower than 22psi.

ANy help would be great, by looking at some of these other cars, I should be in the 13s easy now with my stock rear and definately after my 4.10s


here's the video link, http://media.putfile.com/144-disaster my buddy filming couldn't see the end of the track so he decided to film the tree which should light up the side that wins, however it's too shaky to tell. The integra ran a 16.58 and sounded like crap the whole way down.
You make more power than i do so you should be running in the 12's depending on what your race weight is. The best advice i can give anyone who wants to drop their et's is to quit racing on street tires. your wasting your time! the 1st 60' is pretty much the whole race in a mod motor car. Go buy another set of wheels and either some DR's or slicks and be done with it. Trying to race on true street tires in a modded stang is like pissing in the wind.
