i went to the track a few weekends ago and only managed a 13.4 @ 107... with a 2.0 60ft
my setup...stage 3 on pcm boost 20psi, external wastegate, act street disc, 3in 02 housing, mopar cat back, acr struts set to soft up front and hard in the rear...slicks are 24.5 - 8x15... i was running on HOM...
the car didnt pull for crap...it pulled harder on street tires...i think the clutch was slipping which is BS cause it is 2 months old...
i launched at 3600 to 3800 with my 2-step... i heated the slicks up with 2nd gear burnouts...
i dont think that i would heat the slicks up enough using 1st and id be afraid of getting wheel hop and breaking an axel
i've done first gear burnouts all the time and they work great. 1.9 60fts. On cheater slicks and haven't broken an axle. You're more prone to wearing out your clutch than anything. My friend went 12.5 with stock turbo, first gear burnouts, and street disc.
