Car is a manual? Struggle...that's what you'll do!

Your 60ft time is where you lose the most time so you need to try and drop that. Fitting a launch control or a two step is going to help get it off the line with boost but there is a very good chance you will break thing easily since the clutch either has to be dropped hard or slipped alot. One way will kill the axles and diff, the other way will destroy your clutch. This was my results anyway.

Since these things are so heavy a manual drag sedan has not been very successful with the IRS rear. Have you tried circuit racing? lol

It's all in the launch and how strong your clutch is. I managed a 1.8 60 and went 12.3 with same power level. But that was stressing the clutch heaps. Also wait for cooler temps and it will go quicker

my clutch is a melwood op3+ diff is a turtrac with upgraded axles the weakest link in the drive line is the clutch and factory 5 speed tail sharft

and I fully expect to destroy or stress the clutch but I accept that its just the way it is

suspension will help with traction, I went from a 12.95 to 12.53 by just supension changes on my stock manual f6 (map wood opt 3+ clutch helped to). Left off launch limiter dropped clutch and managed to hook up.
