1.54 60ft FC stock axles
Tried something different this past weekend. ( Nopi, Ennis ) Resulted in a 1.54 60ft. MT streets at 11psi, stock turboII drivetrain, No two step or line lock, boost in 1st gear is close to 20psi.
I staged the first light first
wait for other driver to stage first light.
rev motor to lauch rpm, 6500
I let him trip the second stage light
then I lightly let the clutch out to stage my second light
Once my second light came on, I only pushed the clutch in far enough to stop the car from moving forward. This put a load on the drivetrain.
It was pro tree this weekend so when the three yellows came on, I released the clutch and the results were 1.54. Going on the three yellows still resulted in a .45 reaction time. Looks like Ennis does not factor in the .4 for pro tree.

Lower tire pressure on street tires= smaller contact patch = slower 60'
