Looks like "basketballing" the tires. I'd say tighten up the front and loosen compression on the rears to plant the tires harder. I called Madman and he gave me some settings to try (all 4 Afco's) and it worked perfect first time out.

Hey ive ran at quaker before. Are you dumping the cluch? If so maybe try slipping it alittle bit more maybe not launch so hard on the rpm. I have a 6spd to its tricky launching. Heat upnthe tires more. I dont no how much psi your running in the tires but u have to play with thst stsrt at 18-20lbs and go down from there about 2 lbs at a time till it hooks

Yes I’m dumping it. I started at 20psi and came down to 15psi....15 seemed to be my sweet spot. I’ll try it out. Maybe we can be drag racing pals now haha. You live nearby there?
