so how do you all launch on your slicks? we all do different things, i thought this might help people thinking about trying slicks or even those that already have them to get better 60' times. it gives new ideas to try out!!!
please also include size and type of tire that you use!
i'll start....
i use a hoosier quick time pro dot slick, 26x9.5x15. i do a second gear burn out, holding it until i see smoke for a few seconds, or until the car drags me forward. i launch from about 5k and slip the clutch slightly. this nets me consistant 1.8 60's, and i got one 1.7 last time before i broke.

i know redreaper has a pair. i was talking to him about it last night, i was wondering how the slicks were with the srt, if it made as big a difference as i think it would
Here's a little vid of SnakeSRT running with a stock clutch and "slicks"(don't know exactly what kind of tires they were). It was at Westhampton about a year and a half ago......

No Slicks, just drag radials. BIg difference at the track between the 2. :slap:

Perhaps an explanation on how to properly do a burnout in the car? To prevent people from breaking an axel or igniting a clutch or... GRENADING their trans lol ?
Perhaps an explanation on how to properly do a burnout in the car? To prevent people from breaking an axel or igniting a clutch or... GRENADING their trans lol ?
it all depends on how much power you aree putting out. amy's car has enough power and the clutch is good enough to shock the tires loose in the box so she can do a 2nd gear burnout.she also runs a tire big enough to fit godzilla's child in:thumbs-up
if you are running stock turbo however and a smaller slick the this is how you do it step by step.
there is a low spot in the water box where the water collects(obviously) but when you come through the box if you cant give it a quick spin to get the whole tire wet then just stop about 2 feet after that low spot.
pull up your ebrake and start your burnout.your tires will let you know when they are getting hot because you will be dragged out of the box.
the key part in saving your axles is what you do next..ride out the burnout!!dont let off the gas mid burnout cause you will probably break an axle.
next stage that bitch, rev it up to 5k and as soon as the middle amber stops burning and the last amber lights up drop the mutha f'ing clutch
edit to never2muchboost post: .... and prepare to change your underwear because doing 1.7 60ft's is f'ing insane comming from crappy 2.2's. Also, VERY IMPORTANT, remember to shit into second, it comes much faster now.

very good explaination jay. and also a good point there lance, 2nd gear comes up on you quick, that red line seems a lot lower when doing a 5k launch!
and to echo jay the most important thing is to RIDE OUT THE BURNOUT. do not hit the brakes when you drop the ebrake. let it go, or you will brake an axle.

I am running 24.5 X 8 15 MT's. I usually do a first gear burnout(stock clutch w/55K miles). I usually do a 4500 quick release of the clutch.
My track isn't prepped at all so I am not in danger of breaking any axles(stock 03's). My best is 1.84 but 1.9's are more typical.
One thing to keep in mind is even if you spin the tires with slicks DO NOT short shift, just take the car out past the tree spinning the tires and then go to second.

Custom CO's. I will be wearing a set of M&H 24.5x8.5x15, still ridding on stock struts too. I figure 1.7's should be cake spraying the nitrous off the line, I better do better than 1.9 that I did on drag radials.
BlackDragon
10-26-05, 12:11 AM
Spraying off the line with stock struts will actually hurt your launch more than help it. As soon as the weight transfers off your tires, the nitrous will give its kick and more than likely cause more wheelspin. I would hold off on spraying until second gear, giving yourself a chance to build some momentum so it won't be such a shock to the tires when sprayed... On the other side of that, you can keep it slipping while spraying but you will cause some serious wear on your clutch, something I don't recommend.
Again this is IMO and IME, and you can test out both methods and find what suits yours driving best, but I wouldn't expect 1.7's out of nitrous...

Actually alittle wheelspin never hurt anyone, besides I have a CM stage 4, DSS stage 3 axels to handle the power, along with the 04's ya know we have the quaiffe diff. I plan on just jumping off the rev limiter the first time without the nitrous, then I will spray the next time around and see what feels better. FWIW, the nitrous is wired up WOT, so as soon as the gas pedal hits the floor, nitrous kicks in and kaboom, instaspool.
I will keep ya informed on the numbers when I get back from the track on monday. FWIW, on the same slicks with a 50 trim (496/499) my buddy cranked out a 1.8xx 60, so with less lag and nitrous, 17's might be possible. I am shooting for 1.7's 60's, 115ish traps, and low low 12's.

bingo.
i did 1.9's on dr's too with s2, doesn't really mean anything. launching on slicks, especailly when you have significant hp, is a kind of art. you have to figure it out, not just rev it and go. it takes some getting used to. my first couple of passes on slicks i couldn't do better than 1.9x and i was pissed. then i changed some things around and pulled a 1.7. i know i can do better than that, i just have to get out there and do some more passes.

I have raced my SRT on 4 separate tracks(LACR, Irwindale, Fontana, & Carlsbad) and the car reacted differently at each one.
One thing to keep in mind is if you spin in first on the bottle the rev-limiter is going to come up VERY fast so you better run a window switch.
Screamin Demon
10-26-05, 01:18 PM
If I don't like the output of the launch, I will get out of it and just coast to the line, no need to hurt the car. On dr's with nitrous, I slipped the clutch out to 3 grand, went WOT and the tires roasted, let it bounce of the rev limiter ONCE, shifted into 2nd and tires hooked. Nitrous and stock turbo's don't require alot of time to spool and get the car moving again.I understand the consequences of nitrous, unlike alot of people. I know when to give up so to say.
I will test out some things in a few days. Launching on and off the bottle, on and off the rev limiter. Thats all I can do untill I get somemore seat time with the slicks.

you need to stop listening to the people TELLING you these things. they're apparently idiots.
all we're trying to do is help you since we have experience with these cars on slicks. there are many people here who use slicks, we all have different mods and power levels, as well as run different size slicks. we've tried different set ups, and are just reporting what we found that works and what doesn't. don't want to believe us? that's fine. no one says you have to. but there's no reason to get defensive when we're only trying to help.
blackdragon has experience with all sorts of cars and different set ups, so he knows pretty well how tires react to certain things (like spraying off the line). so if he says that there might be a problem, you might want take it into consideration.

I am guessing you are running at Bandimere based off of the elevation. That is a NHRA sanctioned track so the prep should be good. I still wouldn't recommend spraying in first gear. Your car is making plenty of HP to overpower the chassis/tires/suspension as it sits without the bottle. I would have never told you sub 2.0's aren't possible on radials nor would I have said 12's weren't possible. SO don't compare me to some idiot giving you bad information.

Also be very careful launching off the line with spray... More than any, nitrous backfires occur from launching off the line. Good luck to you though... plus you should be aiming for 11's on slicks making that kind of power....

Nah bro, I wasn't saying YOU specifically, I was more refering to some of the tools over on the other srt boards. Actually Bandimere is closed for the season, I am going about 90 miles south of Bandimere to a track (not a very good track) but they prep the track well when the big HP older cars show up, thats where the 1.9 60' came from. It was the same races last year actually and the elevation is right about 4800ish, as compared to 5800 at bandimere.

5800' ALTITUDE BABY!!
Thats why people say it can't be done. You really can't compair you guys down at the lower altitude to us up in the clouds, cause the whole sport is different up here. Just ask the NHRA guys when they come up to Bandimere.
FWIW Stage 2 guys up here are running anywhere from 13.8-14.2 and stock srt-4's are running anywhere from 14.4-15.0. I am the first and only stock turbo in the 12's up here, hell I was the only stock turbo in the 13's for the longest time, till another stage 2 with nitrous came along and squeezed out a 13.3.
Just ask the violater, he knows first hand how the elevation affects everything. Bandimere for the most part is prepped very well, VHT about every 2 hours or so, constant clean up on the line and anytime a leaf blows on the track, guys are all over it. PMI where I will be going this weekend, alittle short budgeted if you know what I mean.

Then I suggest staying away from the rev limiter. The timing and fuel retardation that keeps your engine under the limit will possibly cause a nitrous backfire or at the minimum a huge spike in heat, that is potentially threatening to many parts of your motor/turbo...

I tried ET Streets, and I just did a major wheelstand.
I now use 295 DRs... I don't do burnouts, just spin them a little to clean them up. Drop the clutch at 2000, then feed it in smoothly but quickly to WOT. I spray a 75shot off the line and a full 225shot at WOT. If I do it right, I can get the fronts about 1ft in the air.
My redline is at 7000 but I "start" to shift as soon as I see 6000 in 1st gear. Usually, I can hit 2nd before I redline 1st (nitrous cuts back to 75shot at 6900rpm). From there, both hands tight on the wheel, then hit 3rd and 4th, and trap at >145mph.

i tend to get off the line now with no spinning of the tires, witch is big for me becuase i used to cut 2.3 60's all day, now i'm cutting 2.1 60's, my only problem is how to not bog down as much, i come off the line at 3k rpm and it imidiately drops to 2-2.5krpm, and i loose so much with that. if anyone knows how to fix that, let me know.
i wish atco was like VMP down in VA, we went there and you were aloud to bring someone down the track with you! and if your car was still in the 13's you didn't need a helmet and even if you hit 12's they wouldn't realy say much. i'd like to go down the track with someone to see how they luanch

dont launch so high to begin with.. and you are bogging because you arent compensating gas with the clutch enough..2300-2500rpms max.. infact..since im still a newb, i watch my tach to make sure i dont bog down and it works for me pretty well, i was able to cut 2.2s on these lol, cant wait to try on a fresh pair of tires

your right, i still leave a little by bogging down to 2500rpm but i cut almost as good a 60' time as some people at atco with DR's on thier SRT's so i'm not complaining, and these are the tires i rolled off the lot with more then a year ago.

i luanched at 3k anything else and i hit 2.3 60's, my best to date is 2.13 and i followed it with a 2.17 60' doing 3k and slipping the clutch out easy,
your right, i still leave a little by bogging down to 2500rpm but i cut almost as good a 60' time as some people at atco with DR's on thier SRT's so i'm not complaining, and these are the tires i rolled off the lot with more then a year ago.
If people at atco are cutting 2.1s with DRs then they arent very good at launching yet - bungles pulls 1.9s on DRs like its cake at E-town
either way, 2.1s on Street Tires are good.. in my book anyways, Best i can do is 2.23 so far :( . And besides everyone has their own style i guess

exactly, if it works for you, then do it
and i know if i had some street tires and can do what i was doing then i could pull off 1.9-2.0 60's easy, and i could be doing alot more with giving it more gas coming off the line and not bog down, thats my 12 second run right there, but i'm not gonna bench race and i'll let my stickies do thier own talkin come spring when atco re-opens!

yea i guess the guys at atco can't launch all that well. i did 1.9's on dr's all day when i ran them, and was doing 2.0-2.1 on street tires. bungles does the same, as do a few other of the locals. i guess us etown drivers just know how to launch :smilie_st

Amy, what are the measurements for your tracklites? Your slick wheels I mean.
Thanks!

FYI, for the upcoming season we are switching to a 24.5x8.5x15 Mickey T ET Drags to take better advantage of our powerband...
