I wonder what clunks, that's weird.

My prediction would be mid to upper 12s on street tires. If the track is really good and you are racing in near zero DA I'd say mid 12 or better, but if the track is shyt you might struggle.

Alright guys since the rebuild I've put in a 3600 converter, bmr poly bushings / trailing arms, Eibach Zl1 drop springs with Bilstein B6's, and am currently on Goodyear Eagle f1 Super Car 3's. I'm going to LS Festival again this year in May here in Texas. Right now I have a hard time getting traction so how do you recommend that I launch? Should I even bother trying to leave at 3k or so rpm, should I leave in 2nd? Or do you guys think it will stick at full throttle? Thanks

I'm dropping my cradle in a couple weeks for an inspection and suspension rebuild so I figure I'm going to ditch the bmr poly mounts and put in some solids. I know hendrix has them on sale for 399 but I'm really liking the dse's....anybody running them? they look pretty beefy but wondering about the lock ring, are they not as tight to fit?
has anybody inspected their solid bushings after running them?

LS Fest will have a lot of cars on street tires making traction worse IMO. I would come up on the throttle some, maybe 15-1800 rpms then launch from there. might need to roll into the throttle a bit as well.
Practicing on a vacant street somewhere will give you some practice with little grip. Will probably help to play with the tire pressures. If I remember correctly my 20" Nitto N555's worked best at 22-24psi at the track and still spun some.
