are you spraying off the line (probably not)? ....or lack of torque
possibly traction?
(((id imagine youd have better times w/ a 75 shot))) that kinda sucks!

I'd say the lost ET could be from a slow first 1/8mile (whether it be wheelspin or not hard enough launch). A perfect example of this is a custom turboed V6 Taurus SHO running 13.5 at 116+mph. 1st and 2nd gear in that car are useless for WOT traction.

lol so yeah you cant spell... and for obvious reasons you simply do not know how to launch your car... you are stating it yourself...
"Should i launch at 2g or 3500rpm"... if you knew how to launch your car you would not be asking this question...
so that is why i simply said... learn to launch your car... where in the hell did you get shit talking?? you obviously posted here to get advice and we are giving it... so suck it up drive your car and give it up man... everyone goes to the stage of learning how to launch their car... dont take it personally... i wont lie iam not getting my 1.8 60ft yet so yeah... good luck launching

Yep, BMP's track prep sucks.. That's why Greg Anderson (of NHRA Pro Stock Fame and 2003 NHRA World Champion) was down (or supposed to be down) at BMP this weekend testing.. Of course track prep means nothing to him..
Not to mention that my 1.35 60' times were received at BMP..
Just as an FYI man, my 60' times would vary about .03-.04 between BMP and Sunshine so it's not the track, it's your skill...

Its your launch my stock z28 ran similar times and I am ass at launching , in your defense the track is not always perfect as I found ouit last time i was there. I think the radiator leak from another car did not help me, friggin anti freeze everywhere and after running 4 times in that lane I find out from the dude running the lane.
