Need Opinion on Launch.

[Six-is-Enough]

The JSM Crew is having a ongoing debate whether my Truck pulled the front wheel off the ground ever so slightly this past saturday or not?

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/d67fe8e8-9bbf-44d8-8aa2-98700099766c.htm

I am not sure either way.

Launch was at 15 psi which resulted in a 1.601 60' time. A personel best.:tup:

Stock front and rear Suspension, Rear Sway bar, Front end Travel limiters set at approx. 3", & BFG Drag Radials on all 4 wheels.

I think it did slightly. My best launch with my old sy was a 1.7 60' and a bunch of people at the line told me that one came up. I dont believe them but I dont care either, it was the coolest launch I ever felt

Re: Need Opinion on Launch.

looks like you barely got it- slightly lifted

Looks to me like you missed it....not by much though.

Have to vote yes because it appears a tiny ant walks in front of the wheel and after the truck left the line, the ant is still walking. Proof enough for me!!

The tire almost lifted .The middle of the tread stayed on the ground and the edges of the tire came up slightly .If you turn up the boost and un-tighten the limiter it will come up .

If I loosen up the limiters 60' time will slow down.:tdown: I was thinking about tightening them up some more!

Nope just a side effect from 500 ft lbs of torque at the wheels and a really sticky track.

Dude, I told you it did, I have the high res. actual video footage of it. No question. Lifted about 1" :tup:

Just wait till you get the DVD I made for you. Then it will be obvious.

Re: Need Opinion on Launch.

Looks really close.
Are you using the New (tread) style BFG drag radials?
Do you spin w/out heating them up?
Do they seem to be lasting for you?
Great 60 ft!!

Re: Need Opinion on Launch.

post it in super slo-mo, I ran it half speed, and I didn't see it lift.

Re: Need Opinion on Launch.

Looks really close. John, Jean, and Jeff swear it does. They say on the hi def you can see it. I have not seen the hi def yet, so I don't know...

Are you using the New (tread) style BFG drag radials? No old tread design.

Do you spin w/out heating them up? They don't really seem to be any better than regular z rated tires if you do not heat them. But just a little heat does wonders.

Do they seem to be lasting for you? I got about 400 - 500 miles on them. Going to and from the track, they seem to be holding up fine. I expect them to last 4-5000 miles. I know M/T would be better but I like to put the drag radials on at home and drive to the track. This would not be possible with the M/T.

Great 60 ft!! Thanks. The 1.5x are still escaping me.

No, but more power to ya. (pun intended!) I have no video's but a couple of different folks, one being the official photog at Infineon, claim I turn all four on launch.

Re: Need Opinion on Launch.

Hmmm..... well all I can say is we need the Hi - Def video, a lower camera angle OR..... show me the daylight! Sorry man, on the posted vid I gotta say no. Daylight under a tire removes all doubt!
NICE LAUNCH THOUGH!
