insanegrunt Member 22 Member For: 16y 7m 8d Gender: Male Location: Bundaberg, QLD Posted 14/03/17 03:33 AM Share Posted 14/03/17 03:33 AM First time out with the 275/40/17's MT ET S/S Radials and got a PB of 11.9 @ 121mph in my ZF FG XR6T But with a 1.99 60ft. Most 60ft times I've bene getting are 2.0 or 2.1 and can't seem to go past the 1.99 Any advice on how to drop my 60ft times? Got XYZ Coilovers in and set on soft front and rear Stall on foot and hand brake. Tyres on 18psi Cheers in advance!

I'm too scared to put a set of slicks on. Best 60 footer I've gotten is 1.9 as well. Also "shallow stage" - stop juuuuuuuuuuust as the second staging light is lit up (when rolling forwards to stage). Makes a tiny bit of difference since the car can roll a tad before it is detected as moving by the equipment.

Then simultaneously drop the handbrake quickly, let off the brake and ease the throttle to 100% to minimize/prevent wheelspin.

You want the weight to transfer to the rear and push hard onto the surface where the MT's are stuck to and taking the power you're delivering to it... there's extra grip that the extra downward force (momentum mass over the rear axle due to the front lifting and the back staying still) gives to those tyres from a slightly wider contact patch with soft tyres means it can take more torque from the driveline Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93029-how-to-get-that-60ft-down/#findComment-1634350 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a gauge to help me. if your good some guys use revs and time it how long they build boost to achieve what they want. I was the same always 60ft 1.9s/2.0s now im in the 1.6s practice Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93029-how-to-get-that-60ft-down/#findComment-1634353 Share on other sites More sharing options...
