Looks good! Have you thought about trying a box to get it out of the hole? You can start soft and work up on it

I am still not sold on limiters I still see people hitting the bumper with them. I have started tightening up the frotn shock in the up direction but There must be some more adjusting to do when I get there. I am just over a half a second shy of you now but I got the stuff starting to dail in finaly

Look at some boxes!

I assume by boxes you mean Digital 7????

Well I have a digital 7 and the XFI both of which have timing retard with progressive feedback of the timing when on the power adder..... we still haven't found a good balance between timing and wheelstands...

when my car did the last wheelstand where it nailed the bumper and unloaded the tires (and I damn near unloaded my bladder into SFI firepants) we were leaving on like 13 degrees of timing...... we run 24 on the 150 shot...... so even pulling 11 more and feeding it back in over 3 seconds had us on bumper..... I think we need to pull like 4 more and get the timing in the single digits to start really killing the power off the line..... but when you kill power off the line the 60' times will suffer a bit..... I want to be able to leave with the wheels dangling just not high enough to start climbing....

other than that wheelie bars are an option... leave on full power on those badboys... i'm not doing it yet tho, but if these wheelstands don't stop i might....

I wasn't sure if he was running XFI or not. I was talking about N2O boxes(like the FJO, Edelbrock, NOS ,NX and such. Some of the guys are having great luck with them to control the car out of the hole You definately want to lay down as much as you can but still keep the front end down.

You should have been there to see it in person. The vids don't give any of the launches justice.
