How to run mid-low 11's....
so i went to the track last night and first pass spun first and into second for a 12.9 with a 2.2 60 
so lowered tire pressure to 30 psi and did a spin through water ran a 12.8 but got some bad wheel hop on the launch and had to back out quite a bit. sooooo my question is what do you do to stop wheel hop i have bc br coilovers and 255 azenis. i know to soften up the rear for weight transfer and i did but my third pass i cut a 1.8 60 ft and still wheel hopped pretty bad and blew the licp rite after 1/8th mile and still ran a 12.8.
thanks josh

So does a nice suspension with the proper spring rates, adjustable ride height to preload the wheels that need it and also struts that allow you to adjust the rebound rate. Not to mention camber tweaking, gotta keep those babies on the ground with a flat contact patch while launching and distributing the weight more equally to the front and back. Ask Dynoflash Al, this was his first year with a tuned suspension at the DSM shootout and his results speak for themselves.

Yes that also makes a big difference. I was just saying tire psi makes a big difference. Well it did for me at least. I have ran my car at the track maybe 20-30 times with 1.7-1.9 60fts. Then I saw this thread and lowered my tire psi to 20 and right away 2 back to back 1.57 60fts.
plenty of people do amazing 60' times with the stock suspension (I hate them all! lol) but improving the suspension down the road will just make things even better. I don't recommend anyone using Nexen tires though......terrible tire for the track.
I have the falken azenis with 255 width not the best tire for the drag strip but they are great on the road.
I have Michelin PS2s. 6k 2 step and around 8-10psi. Im on the stock suspension also. My tires probably have a lot to do with it also.

ok thanks i will drop to 20 psi all around next trip out and hopefully get a 1.5 60 but thats rough with a 6 speed the one to two is so quick and thats what makes my 60 times as for suspension stiffer up front and a little softer in the rear?
Ran today at island dragway 20psi tire preassure. Spun so much the car went sideways. Still managed a 1.73 60ft. Maybe its my falken azenis tires. im going to try drag radials or all season tires to see if i get more grip
