I commend that Rear End for taking that launch like a champ.

And why is the track like that after the finish line?

Anyone know the raceweight of that car?

131 on a stock bottom end with heads/cam is pretty decent

I think its more to do with the tires than anything. Of course you need the rear first though. I have 4.11 gears in my 12 bolt. When I had BFG DRs I could only launch at 3k otherwise I would spin, with MT ET streets I could launch at 5k.

thats an AFR gauge or "wideband" to see wether you are going lean or rich. Its a necessity for a turbo motor. Mine was $280 installed, never looked back. boost can get crazy sometimes

Great Vid! I love my turbo M6 on the highway, noting like hearing the BOV through the gears
