Burnout, stage, Little pressure on the pedal, Smash pedal and see what happens.

If you spin, go back and look at pressure and other factors. Willing to wager the stall maybe too tight but again, letting it flash on it's own should yield far better results. Just depends on how good your tire is.

Very impressive RWHP # cam only with basic mods on a auto. Assumed Dyno tuned? Did they take out any or all TQ management??

My feeling with this is your at the point where you need to make the setup fail i.e. Spin or worse 60 foot due to spinning. That tire is most likely too low of a PSI. Start in the mid to high teens and work down.

There are gusy out there trying to get the set up "to work" but you have so much cushion room I think you really can play with tire and suspension.

Let us know.

TSP site says 3500 or better for the stall, but gears and tire size can kill a big cam on the launch!! You should be running 4.10s w/ 26" tire or 4.30s w/28"

Those 3.23 gears are taking you out of your powerband for the cam you have.

Also, your trap is really low. I would go get it dynoed to see if you are really putting down those numbers or if there is something wrong with the tune.

You need gears bad, I would also look at a higher stall and a different intake. You are running a cam that wants to pull to 6500 plus and you have an intake that falls off at 5500
