Default Better launching

Has anyone found that they get a better launch WITH the spare tire and jack
in the car, or maybe with a full tank of gas?
I may be crazy, but it feel's like I can get out of the hole a little quicker with a full tank.
I know about weight reduction and all, but a full tank of gas vs a 1/4 sure seem's to cut down on wheel spin.

Then your problem is with your tires.
Lighter is better.

dont even bother w/the bfgs they are only a little better for traction than the nittos. If u are gonna run at the track buy some M/Ts et streets. If u are gonna street race stay with the nittos case the bfgs are mo $$$ and they dont last as long. The nittos need to be heated up substantially before they start to hook. The BFGS are only a little better than the nittos at hooking.
