Was this the obligatory "finish em off" burnout before you put a new set of tires on??

Looks like no hop issues, and the car sounds great. Now get it to the drag strip and launch that sucker!

Prepare for 10 people to challenge you to launch the car at redline now.

Sounded great, im looking forward to seeing what happens at the track since thats where the hop really happens. I get zero hop on the street with just a drivers side hendrix axle, but at the track its horrendous.

Yea, hop isn't really an issue during a street burnout or launch. It's the track thats puts the hop to the test. Nice burnout though. Try it in 2nd gear, it makes way more smoke. I should know. ;-)

Can't wait to see actual track results. Burnouts are cool though too.

If you make the drive to Houston, sure.

I'm a little paranoid to use them after I snapped my inner axle stub last time at the track
