I spray 60% of 250hp off the line and in .6 seconds it ramps up to the full hit. Just enough time to get the wheel speed up without spining.
The 60ft there was my best ever @ 1.27

Most of my 60' time is in the suspension setup, been tuning the setup for about 3 years of trial and error. Ladder bars, coilovers, anti roll bar and limiter chains adjusted till I wanted to vomit.
