Went drag racing last night again

Because I have not been in a while, and I wanted to see how bad my wheels would kill my launches I decided to go last night. Before when I took my car to the track I was 13.3s-13.4s at 103-104mph.
Just to refresh everyone on what my car currently looks like (and because I like to show it off)

Those are 20" wheels with a 275/35/20 in the back (Nitto 555s)
Also, I have intake, and straight through exhaust including test pipes (H&R springs as well but I am sure that hurts more than helps).
So run #1 vs 2003 RS6

Massive wheel spin. I have never felt so slippery on a track before. I should have cleaned the tires off better and lined up in the grooves, but I didn't. It didn't get traction till 3rd gear.
15.706@ 98.55
Run #2

Whoa! The car hooked up and I wasn't ready for it. 2.093 60' which I never thought I would do with 20s. This time I did a small burnout to clean the tires and made sure I was in the groove.
Run #3
No video![Frown](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/frown.gif)
A bit of wheelspin off the line as I was trying to see if I can launch better. Ended up with a 2.120 60' and 13.605@101.04
As soon as the meth parts come in, on they go with a smaller pulley and maybe some better tires (looking for a set of 17s to clear the brakes and some semi slicks) in the back!

BF, I read you sig, screw everything else but a twin screw I switched out my Eaton to a KB and only 2psi more boost than the Eaton and a full point lower on compression. Its a night and day differance in performance. heres a 0-60 vid of my 05 V6 Frontier

Ya they are a pain sometimes. I am glad that Kentucky's roads are kept up pretty well
Very nice dude... I'm really curious how your mph will pick up with the 3lb pulley and the meth kit... keep us posted!
Also, how loud do you find your exhaust setup to be? Am I readin that right, no cats? Stock resonators and mufflers though, right? Curious how that sounds...

Actually these cars produce decent 60ft times especially for an open diff car. On street tires I'm dead even off the line or faster than any rwd car I've raced. All have LSD's new m3, ss camaro, 392 challenger. I think better intercooling and a transmission that shifts more aggressive would make these cars alot faster.

i assume the good 60ft times/launches against those cars are with the dsc off....if so im just getting at your actually a pretty good driver aswell. takes practice & consistency not to push it past the point in 1st gear where theres too much tire spin and the car just shifts to 2nd and now everythings just blahhhh. i tend to get a little excited sometimes!
