stock clutch? 8.1 is a mid 12ish as im sure you know. with what you have on a tire..i would think 12.0-12.4 would be closer to where the car should be without everything coming together right...especially coming out at 4,500. Just my thoughts.

Follow dennis' advice...ive personally watched him put a few cars on the bumper

Well to be honest that was my very first time running with drags so it did catch me off guard when I launched that hard..lol and I also have 2 amps and a 10'' speaker and had a lil more than half a tank of gas but pretty sure I could do a bit better next time and also when I launched that hard and every time i shifted it felt like if the torque arm was flexing or somthing...

Also if the car is lowered which I think it was, install some lower control arm relocation brackets
