Do you have relocation brackets on your car. I also think your power is beyond DR, you are gonna need some better tires, maybe ET streets/Drags.

From looking at your sig you have no suspension help (front shocks, etc). Have you even removed the front sway bar yet? I was running high 1.5's and low 1.6 60' when I was running a Vig3600 with my car stock internal. What are you stalling it up to on the launch? Mine liked it around 1500 rpms. What pressure are you running in your BFGs?

I think alot of it was the track... there was alot of street cars there. Oh and I did not drive through the water box.
