Message	How are all you guys with automatic TTs launching at the strip? I can't seem to get my 60-foot times lower than ~2.1 seconds. What RPMs do you guys brake torque to? I try to brake torque between 2000~3000RPM. I've got the HKS ALC and I run normal street tires at the track. I know I could get nitrous or drag radials but I only hit the track once per year so I don't think they would be good investments. Maybe there is some other easy trick I'm not doing. I also know the Z isn't the best drag car.....but It's fun to do once in a while. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
