Default question for all you guys racing proshifted transmissions

ok, i got a lil scare today and just wanted to see if this will be a problem at the track also, i run the 325 radials on the street and once they are hot i could blow throught the gears at wot and car was always stable and didnt break loose on me shifting, now that i have a proshifted i can keep my gas to da floor when i shift so i tried it after warming up the car and the tires today. and when i nailed second gear the car came loose on me and made a huge tire screach. i let off and was like wow, wtf, that had never happend before doing the same thing and my power hasnt changed much so i thought maby i was on a bad spot in the road, so i tried again and same results all 3 times. my concern is that these are some sticky freakin tires and im hopin im not going to be havin the same results on my slicks at the track cause lord knows they dont prep much past the line and im wall less till now and id like to say that way. anyone ran into this prob at the track? if not good, cause this thing is definatly worth some et over my other one if the tires hold

thanks guys

Hopefully this answers your question. The track is sort of familiar. The best Kevin managed with the proshifted T56 was a 10.28 I believe. After we get the turbo car figured out on the automatic we're going to stick the T56 back in there and try again.

Very nice pass-How heavy of a flywheel is in the car? Cam size? gear/tire combo?
Fast stick cars are .

Exedy twin disk and flywheel. It's a lot lighter than a Mcleod setup, but has just as much grip. It was a 382 stroker with a solid roller. I'll get the cam specs later. I want to say it was on a 28" tire with a 4.56 gear.
