1st Time at the Track with my NEW 2g

[gsxeclipsed]

I went to the track for the first time ever this past week. I was pretty nurvous being my first time down a drag strip. My first 2 passes i missed 3rd and ran in the 18's. My 3rd pass was 2.8 60' but hit all the gears once i calmed down and ran a 17.6. My 4th and final pass of the night i knew i could go faster and i did but still no 60' times. Any suggestions on helping my 2g NT 60' better? Anyway here is the link to the time slip.

Well when I had my old 2G N/T, I ran a 16.3@83. But, I had almost every bolt-on, minus nitrous, you could get. My suggestion would be to get some sticky tires to help the 60' times. With no turbo/nitrous and FWD, your 60's will be difficult to get down. I think my best 60' was a 2.39. Just get a few mods like headers and an exhaust and your times will come down.

i have a 95 talon esi, basic mods like CAI, header, test pipe, vibrant axle back, b&m short throw. Im actually running 60 psi compression in cylinder 4 do to hydrolocking it (not a fan of cai's any more ) plus STOCK clutch, never been replaced.

When i got to the track i disconnected my a/c-p/s belt and lowered my tire pressure to 25 psi. (fuzion hri cheep @$$ 195's)

First time to the track, i ran FULL interior, including spare tire, sub and amp.

1/4 was a 16.197 with a 2.408 60 ft.

Took out my sub, amp, back seats, passenger seat, and spare tire.

1/4 - 15.874 with a 2.368 60 ft. my R/T was 0.277. I knew i could have gotten lower, but the track was closing.

Launched at 2500 rpms with a smooth but quick let-off of the clutch.

The tracks are closed now (IN), but the main thing that will lower your times is practice. Cutting down the 60' is the key (should be around 2.3). Focus on you launch and not you R/T as the R/T has no impact on you 1/4 time.
