The first time i launched at 18 and the second i warmed them up really good and launched at about 25 with almost no wheel spin she hooked very well and also on the second i used the hp tuners vcm controls to keep fans running to cool her down so i think that helped that it was at about 100 vs the norm 195

I had a brand new pair of sumo Z III 255 40 18 on the stock rims and the car has minimal squat on the launch but if i had some blockers id use them for sure and i come out the hole @ about 1800 hit 20mph and wide open
