you are a rookie awd owner. i have been to the track a million times with my awd dsm. 16g and supporting mods on stock suspension. on fireston lemans (cheapest all season 16 inch tires), i can pull 1.63-1.65s 60ft time repeatedly. the tricks is to slip the clutch at 5500-6000rpm with the ebrake holding the car on the line. front tires at 20psi and back tire at 18psi. you might want to start at 22psi and go down. hold on to the steering wheel tightly because you are into for a good suprise. i did this without the two step.
I'm a rookie AWD owner? Negative. I've been into DSM's since 1999. Have you ever tried launching an AWD DSM that actually has more than 300hp? I think you'll find that it's a bit more difficult than your typical 16g-powered car.
I had a 16g setup back in the day. I ran 12.3 @ 110mph, and had a best trap of 112.97mph. This was a Small 16g no port or clip, stock cams, stock bottom-end, top-to-bottom FMIC, 550cc injectors, 110 octane fuel, 22-24psi. Best 60 foot was a 1.73. Stock suspension. Stock wheels. T-rated all-season Smokemaster 5,000 tires.
What you aren't realizing is that the track we were racing on is not a real racetrack. It's set up in the parking lot of our local football stadium. It's a joke. Wheelspin issues are notorious down there, especially when you're driving a 500hp car with street tires, and it's a 45-degree night.
