Nitto Drag radials times not so good?????

Anyone know what rpm i should launch at with a stock auto? this means pressing the gas abd brakes at the same time right?

Same problem with me. Check the sig for times/mods.

With stock tires you will need to launch around 2.5k to 3K any more and you will have to much wheel spin.

You cant launch at 2500-300rpms with a stock auto tranny. The highest I can go is 1500 before my tires star spinning.

so launching at 2500-3000rpms should help my times a bit?? okay i was always afraid to launch that high because im afraid of breaking something trying to get the rpm's up there.

I think I'll ask something that perhaps others have overlooked for the most part.

What kind of wheel spin did you have off the line ? Did you hook good or did you just seem to "crawl" out of the whole when you took off ? At 95*, bad track conditions, and an automatic with the stock torque converter aren't exactly compatible with good track times.

Set them at 16 psi. and dont do a huge burnout like you want to. I do a quick spin in the waterbox, then I burn them for like 5 seconds or so, just untill they start to smoke. At this point you can feel them starting to grip, and roll to the line. If you do too big of a burn, the will get slick like street tires do after a big burn.

Well it hooked, but it seemed like my car was sluggish but i didnt really feel any slippage

Chances are, it's not the DR's. The car was probably just boggin due to all the heat. What would help you get out of the whole a lot quicker is a high stall converter(at least a 3k stall) and some good control arms for the rear of the car.

okay thank you all for the input
