Hey everyone, so I got back from a local 1/8 mile track a few hours ago and had some really bad issues getting off the line the entire night. My first run I ran a 9.404 and my 60 ft was 2.2666. After that I started having issues with bogging when taking off. Just wasn't accelerating as it should in 1st. My 60 ft times after that were steadily 2.35-2.4, which is just god awful. I noticed a little vibration and croaking come from the front right when slightly accelerating in 1st and 2nd after my runs. I was at another 1/8 track last week and only got one decent run in and my 60 ft was 2.194, which is a little more respectable but still needs to improve in my opinion. Anyways, after I left the track the vibration went away and it feels amazing on the streets. Any idea what could have been going wrong?

Forgot to mention how I was taking off, but that first pass I revved up to 3k and just dropped the clutch. Tried going a little higher and spun a decent amount. So I started to just ease off the clutch a bit and revving it up to about 1500 to see if it would help and it didn't much at all. Still felt really hesitant in 1st. Consistently ran from 9.450-9.6 with my launching issues.

Here are some time slips from today at the local 1/4 track (done drag racing for a while lol) atleast until after I swap the clutch and tune. Still feel like I can be doing better but I'm not too displeased. Probably about time for better tires too. Had a few runs where I just couldn't stop spinning but I was probably letting off too fast. I'm slipping it in these videos and runs. That g35 was boosted on 8lbs and that's our time slip in the pic. It was his first time running it on boost. It was about 95 degrees out in ennis tx.
