What RPM are you launching at?
Caution: I have an odd sense of humor, so don't be offended by the things I say
MMMM, HIDs
thats about right for that motor in a sedan, especially being an older stock motor at that, headwork would do wonders on it i'm sure
All show, coming soon ---> GO
header ... the stock down pipe is the most restrictive part of the car from the fact ... after the header and exhaust then the head is the next in line..
also work on your reaction times ....
other than that not bad
i was launching at around 4000... is that alright?... and ya i wanna do the header because the rest of the exhaust is done...
thanks guys keep the comments/tips coming...
4000 seems a little high, but launching rpm will come with practice and seat time. launch at different rpms and see what works best for you. judging by your 60' times, you might be spinning too much. just put in some seat time and play with the rpm and the clutch, you'll get it eventually.
