Moved my turbo Formy... I took off my Bogart/28W's and put on my Bogart/325 DR's. Seem to fit about the same.
I cleared off all the junk on the car, and moved it to one of my other garages, in preparation for a short trip to Speed Inc. to look over stuff and then off to the track I go.
My wife took some vid, I'll hopefully upload it tonight.

Nope, found one.
I'm not changing anything, I'm just going to "put 15psi in the tires and launch at 13psi" and run betterer.
Seriously, I am going to launch better like Matt and other folks told me how to, and the car should do markedly better next time out. I'm going to run on slicks though.

Looks like you want a custom pink moderator color Carl. 
I wonder if some veteran turbo racers could maybe chime in quick about how they stage? So I recall seeing Matt bring up the revs at Thunder a few years ago, was Matt actually in boost before he even tripped the first beam?

Staging with a turbo car (from my limited experience) is simply an exercise in footwork and in your case transbrake button work. You don't want to stage before you start building boost, or your *** is going to get tree'd. Once the turbo is spinning enough to build a lb. or so boost, it'll come up pretty quickly to your launch boost. So do the burnout, sit on the prestage beam, two foot it on the footbrake until you get a lb. or so, then creep forward until the stage beam lights. Then hit the tbrake button and mat the pedal.
We REALLY need to get speed to put a tree in front of the dyno so you can practice..

that's funny, but I agree with Brian, and launch almost indentically, if you can hold a couple pounds when you launch, it will drastically improve your short timeEd
