Is this every weeked that this is happening, it could just be that the weather was perfect on your 2.0 60' causing just a bit better times. But never know, it could be something else, tires, pressure, track.

yep, but less top end, so it is kinda obvious to jack up the front tire pressure or atleast have it properly inflated and let a little out of the rear, not a whole lot, just enough.

Lack of lowend torque is a bitch.Even with mondo turbo pressure,when the tires hook up fully,theres little torque pull at 3500rpm.Compared to a lowend happy V-8, were kinda limited.

With 14psi max boost,I still couldnt break 1.9 sec. 60ft times,running 13.5@105 ,with little tirespin.

Ive hit a 1.82, but that was leavin with zero boost. Should drop quite a bit if i can get into boost first.

I have never done a better 60' foot than 2.2 on street tyres. Are you spinning the water off your tyres during the burnout? Also what pressure are you running in them? What rpm are you launching at?

No need to go through the water with street tires. Burnout on street tires is just tearing up your tires and doesn't help. If lower pressure doesn't help then drag radials or slicks is the way to go. Although I must agree with steve84gs. With a N/A 7 there just isn't much one can do.

1.41 is my best 60 foot time on 275-50-15 BFG drag radials with a good burnout leaving on 15 psi (in my blue car)

2.0 is average on most rx7's with shitty street tires, so your not far off....you could try slipping the clutch alittle more to reduce wheelspin but have the rpm's up where the motor starts to make power
