Boost??

[JBS87GN]

How much boost are most of you guys leaving with from the line? I've heard most guys will break torque to around 8lbs then lock in transbreak and put the pedal to the floor? Is this kind of launching sane???

Thanks

How much boost is TOTALLY dependant on your tires, your suspension mods, brakes/T-brake, stall and how much power you're making. Sure a person with a set of plain jane street tires could launch at 8 PSI if the other stuff was squared away, but that doesn't mean that they won't turn the car sideways or smoke the tires for a month.

I have done a few 15psi launches, gets about a 1.58 sixty foot with slicks

On the street brake boosting to around 8psi with 275/50 DR no burnout what so ever, hooking REALLY hard. With a couple of tire spins to clean them a little 10psi can be done with no tire spin what so ever.

Suspension setup if you're interested

- Pinion Snubber
- Air bag on the passenger's side
- 90/10 - 50/50 Drag Shocks
- Hotchkiss Upper & Lower Control Arms
- ATR 1 3/8 Rear Sway Bar
- Stock 215/65/15 in front
- BFG Drag Radials 275/50/15 in back

Alright, Thanks guys. Were running BFG Radials and a Max Boost Launch kit done by Ron Joseph. The car will hold 12 PSI on the brakes. But anything higher then about 6 or 7 lbs with the BFG's not warmed up will smoke the tires till eternity.
