You can def do it man. I used to have the same times.... Get a slightly better launch, find the right shift points, and take some weight off (like you said) and you should be all set.

What rpms are you launching at? You dumping the clutch or feathering it?

What psi are you running in your tires. Try lowering the front set and fill up the rear. I run 20psi in my front set of tires and around 50 psi in the rear. Also if you have adjustable suspension set it soft up front and stiff on your rear tires.

That's the another problem i have.
My suspension setup sucks.
Using coupe Tein s tech springs on stock shocks.

I ran with 27psi on front tires, 33psi on rear.
I will lower pressure on rear and raise up rear next time i go there.
More tips are helpful.

This was second time at drag strip and i was able to get better reaction time than before.
I am learning..

get your launch down to 2.2's where it should be and you'll be close to 14.8's

I dunno too much about the SI. do you have the 5500 limiter in nuetral like the type S?

motor mouns arent a magical cure for bad launches lol alot of times it makes you worse until you figure out a better way to launch.
