Drag times

[jdbubb@ix.netcom.com (Dan Bubb)]

The times look pretty reasonable although I don't know all the details of
your car, but your 60 ft times are lousy!
I've gotten 2.4 60 ft times regularly on street tires. I'm thinking you need
to launch a lot less aggressively. If you could knock a second off your 60
ft. your 1/4 mile would be really impressive.
So, how did you end up tuning your engine management? I seem to remember
that you were initially disappointed with the performance with the throttle
bodies.
