I've launched them at 5000 rpm and popped a little wheelie with the 255/50/16s. The trick is you can't just dump the clutch or you will just spin all day. Instead you have to learn to let the clutch out VERY quickly.

its a liquid compound that goes on tires and after a nice burnout makes the rubber on the tires like glue, it sounds like duct tape being pulled off when the tires roll forward. works miracles and makes u hook so damn well. that combined with a drag radial makes for a slingshot launch.

yes, spray pam on your car before you use the vht, spray it everywhere you think the vht will hit, then it just wipes off.
