not right out of the hole. waited till i felt the tires hook and than eased the pedal all the way down...i would say the juice came in shortly after the 60' mark.
yeah, she pulled real nice up top..hence my 130mph and only running mid 11's..

thanx for the comments guys!

With 1.6 - 1.5 60ft that thing will be at mid 10s for sure.
