first time to the track with new combo (video inside)

Personally I think your doing fairly good considering your carb is only a 650. I'd be thinking of a 750 or better - give it some top end.
What pressure are you running in the tires - lower it if you can, I haven't used the 555 Nitto before but with my NT01's (curcuit tire), the one time I went to the drags I ran 13psi and was happy with the result.

the carb is now a 770 street avenger, ive tried 16-25 psi in the tires and havent noticed a difference

I see you run drag radials. If you run on the streets, heat them pretty good the first time like you did in the videos. After that, it's not really beneficial to smoke show like in each video. Looks great, but, it wears the tire down and can actually make them grease up. You can cut the burnout time at least in half. Watch the burnout this video, car runs 1.47x 60's on a 275/60/15 Drag radial with 20 psi in them. It picked up with more pressure.

Get it in high gear as quickly as possible, give it a 2-3 count and roll out.

yea i was a little excessive on the burnouts but the tires were brand new and those were the first three passes. one of my dads old school racer buddies came over and looked at it this morning. he said my carb/induction/timing is wrong. i was only at about 30 degrees overall and after a short drive around the block we came to the conclusion that my secondaries werent opening. we put a screw in the linkage set the timing to 36 overall and took it for a ride.......night and day difference, feels like the car picked up at least 50 hp.:blob:

so after all that 12.5 with a 2 barrel aint too bad lol.

im going out on the 1st for the new years day drags well see how she does

It should run better than that with that much power and a little car, what springs on the rear are you running?

i agree completely
