'07 in the 1/4 mile video, still not getting traction.

Ran my '07 Friday night at Empire Dragway for MOM's night. (Mustang on Mustang). Out of seven runs the best was an 11.853, top MPH was 125.31. Switched to drag radials and still had terrible wheel spin. Had to launch at 2,200rpm or it would just blaze the tires. Everyone else running the MT et drag radials said they launch around 4,000 and no spin.

Last year I was running 12.53 at 115, ET and MPH have improved but could be much better if I could launch harder. Anyone else running the MT ET drag tires?

I am not running the MT ETs myself, but I am running into the same traction issues with the M&H 325/50R15s.

Another member recommended going to slicks, after going through the same problems himself.

I have gone through around 40 or so passes trying different launches, and pressures down to 14 lbs, and got best results with a soft launch.

I am running the stock 3.31 gears, with a best ET of 11.30 and best mph of 124.36 so far.

Going to give it one more try this weekend or the next, weather permitting.
