very sick haha...love it.

 

yeah.. that rocks.... So give some info on the launch.. what tire presure? what rpm? A 10.4 on 18.5psi is crazy fast.

 

11.5 psi in the ET Streets 6.5k launch rpm preload drivetrain with the handbrake

 

never seen slo mo launch before....nice congrats

 

Awesome numbers Blitz ! Im glad those skinnies are working out good for you.

 

Seems pretty low of tire pressure for IRS, does it get a little squirrely at the end of the 1320???

And by preload do you mean you slip the clutch a bit before getting the green with the handbrake fully on?

 

Well the tires are designed to be run that low, but my HKS Drag IRS suspension is working quite well, I did run higher pressures but that didnt really work out.
Since fitting the front Skinnies as supplied by turboR1 its very stable at the top end of the strip. When I had normal Radial tires up front yes it did get very squirrely after the 8th.

Preload question..Well I get the handbrake fully on at the line and bring the clutch to just about the biting point without slipping to much then dump the hand brake and clutch at the same time at green, I do it so quickly I couldnt tell you how long im on the biting point when I stage up.

 

Here is the finish line pic, just noticed the strip is slightly uphill lol

 

Very Nice.. Congrats...

 

very nice hope to see some more slow mo launches

 

I love that video, badass!!!!

 

Good to know! Real nice launch and numbers, especially on IRS and stock trans, props to you.

Just out of curiosity, I know the HKS rears are 3 kg/mm (~170 lb/in) which is quite a bit lighter then the usual street/race coilovers, but what else makes them better for drag?

 

There valved for it..

Road race shocks are not designed for drag.

In drag racing you want the car to squat and stay squanted.. Not bounce back up and unload the tires..

 

Why do you say that?
11.5 is not that low..

 

yeah, I've ran as low as 7-8psi in my old ET Streets......to compensate for the blown shocks and f'd up 4 link. Didn't really help but made for some butt puckering runs..

 

HOTNESS

I love how the rear tire rotates, while the car "slowly" moves ahead!

 

Awesome video!

 

Straight bad ***!

 

I meant on independent rear suspension, I thought they get pretty squirrely below 14 psi. I'll shut up and go back to my igloo.

 

On IRS so long as you have Bias ply tyres on all four wheels its quite stable

 

Dude, I like it. That's gangsta.

 

very nice blitzboy !!!! very nice 60ft !!!! keep chopin at da top 20 list
9's commin to you soon . jus wondering what does your car weigh if you don't mind me askin ?

 

Very nice vid! And congrats on the pass!!

 

approx 1130 kilos or 2535 pounds in old money lol, but that weight will go up when we put the cage in August
