Boost at the line
No threads in here in such a long time, so why not get one going.
Wondering how much boost you launch with? What mods you have done to do it and what your best 60 foots were with it? I have only been to the track 3 times. Best 60': 1.700 spinning out of the hole, 8-10 psi launch, pushing through the lights, brakes wouldn't hold. Used the E brake as well. Front sway bar removed. 26" Slicks, ATR Bar, Air bags 9 psi DS and 24 psi PS, UMI tubular lowers, 90/10 fronts, 50/50 rear shocks. I just upgraded the rears to the S-10 drums and brakes and look forward to better 60' times.

1.71 with MT Sportsman Pro's @ 9 psi
10 psi on trans-brake, stock suspension, no sway bar, no airbags. Car launches straight as an arrow. of course this needs to be improved upon.

I cant leave with any boost either. brakes wont hold. even with the S-10 ones. best I got out of it was a 1.54 on foot brake and I think that might have been around 2-3psi. Now I've installed a HR Parts rear sway bar and cant 60ft out of the 1.7's
 guess I need to do some adjusting. anyone ever fool with them?Jason

I seem to have just thrown parts at it and it hasn't 60 footed for me. I am spinning on slicks 26x10's. I could literally feel when they hooked. I still have the stock upper CA's on there. Adjustable upper LCA's maybe?
I think I just need more time at the track, adjusting pressures to find where it likes to launch. 1Chance, What's your set up?

I am soo new to the track, I don't even know how to measure that. I just bolted the parts on, didn't change anything else. Something else for me to learn about these cars. Reading about it now.

Exception to the rules here. I launch just off idle, the boost gage doesn't move until WOT with a very quick spool thanks to the converter. Typically, it pulls 60's in the high 1.6's. If I do spool up on the foot brake the 60 suffers and I don't necessarily lose traction. The supension mods are boxed stock uppers and lowers, air bag in the RR(20psi), stock type springs and Monroe-matics.
"Flashing" the converter works best for this one at the moment.

the 86
1.42 10psi 275/60-15 mt et street 'drag' radials stock upper control arms , stock lowers boxed , stock bushings, stock springs HRparts sway bar, no frt bar, battery up front MSBc-1 electronic boost controlled launch , has vac brakes and cant even hold 0psi but doesnt matter with stageright t-brake at 6psi its pretty consistent 1.52x on mt 26" 255/50-16 MT et street 'dra'g radials it does 1.50s at 8psi (3750) the 87 1.57 255/50-16 MT et street 'drag' radials stock 87 motor with stock turbo , solid bushing lower control arms adjustable uppers Hrparts swaybar, no front bar, battery up front s10 cylinders, powermaster can hold loads of boost but i only hold 3psi (2750 ,just under converter stall) and then just as tree starts i quickly bring up rpms and let go of brake pedal always trying for those low RT's , usually hit 3600rpm before car travels one foot staging deep will cut your RT down but your 60 will slow a little so if your not running in competion an easy was to shave some time off your 60' is to stage just far enough in to light the two beams and no more ,
