It's your 60' times. IIRC they should be around 2.0~1.9.

What are you launching the car at? Are you dumping the clutch or feathering? Any wheel hop/spin?

the first time i took it out. tire pressure was 35psi or so and dumped at 2k anymore wheel spin was excessive. best 60 ft was a 2.45 or so.

this time i took it out. tried stock pressure and slipping but it was my first time so i wastn very good

i dropped to like 25 my last 2 runs still trying to slip at like 3k and wasnt busting any good 60ts.

advice would be great

Bring pressure down to about 20 lbs and launch at 5k. You want just a little bit of spin (not hop) as it hooks, the car should be in Vtec.

While 5k sounds a bit much, when you feather the clutch it doesn't shock the drivetrain. Yes, it does eat up a little clutch... but you are racing. Gotta pay to play.

Yes, at 5k your close to Vtec engagement. You want the Vtec to engage as your tires catch. And when I say spin, I don't mean much.
