Got the car out the 1/4 mile finally.
First time launching the car in this type of format as I usually circuit race.
Stats:
Altitude: 1400 ft... DA should be close as it was around 15C outside
Tires: Federal 595RSRR
Trap time: 13.7 was my best
Trap speed: 108mph
RT: .4
60': 2.5
K04 on 91 octane
My 60 was trash and no matter how hard i tried to launch i either spun or bogged. A couple guys said track prep wasnt great. IDK because i dont drag much.
Cars weight was up too. No CF hood, LW battery or race seat. @2900 lbs w/o me in it.
Thoughts?

What Would Glenn Danzig Do
I've never drag raced my car. I kind of want to. Can't really comment on the times, were the tires warmed up? I know full weight k04 cars with drag tires can easily get into the low 12's if not 11's.
Do you by chance know what the weight difference is between the CF hood you have and oem?

So i pass by the water box on every pass. Tires were not track warm but they were biting. The hard part was getting them to bite and not bog down (ie... what rpm to launch at)
my car was roughly 80lbs heavier than usual track day.
The trap speed says that high 12s low 13s is possible in this configuration but my 60ft is garbage.
Big thing with those cars that hit 11s on K04 is that they are all DSG. :/
Either way this is my last go before leaving for korea. So whatever the answer is i will have to wait a long while before i get back out there

Next mod
Looking for input on my next mod - anti-sway bars. I currently run stock anti-sway bars and recently upgraded to VWR sport springs/shocks (which I love!). From all of my searching on the various forums, it seems like H&R is the brand to go with, but there are a lot of opinions on size and settings. Since my car serves triple purposes - track/fun/occasional DD - I was thinking of the 26 up front and 22 in the back on the soft setting. Thoughts?
P.S. I was supposed to do my first track event this weekend, but the rain last week caused the event to get postponed because they have to do last week's event this week so I won't get on the track until the end of June. C'est la vie!

not even with slicks?
Ah didn't know you were in the Army. Safe travels bud and return safe!
I think you'd understeer a little bit with a 22 rear and 26 front especially with the rear 22 on soft. I have a 26 front on soft and 24 rear on hard and think it's the perfect setting for this platform.

Not that I know of. It looks like the stage 3 guys are getting low 12s with slicks.
