well i usually leave at 7800-8200 at the strip but best bet is to start lower since I assume yours is pretty stock... I would start at 3200 and if it hooks fo up to 3700 hooks go to 4200 and keep working up

but i just turned 17 a couple weeks ago! lol so ya! but im not some stupid kid! i know a lot more about motors and cars than prolly 75% of the people on this site! lol but your best bet would to get some dr's on some extra rims to put on at the track!

I used my dr's for most of my track runs!12.28 is my best in street tires and 11.69 is best on dr's so it makes a big difference! im finally stepping up to slicks and gettin grid of DR's on rims!

Your best bet in launching the car would be to slip the clutch quickly and not just dump it! I couldn't never hook my car on the 10-bolt and nittos so I put a 9", almost full suspension, and a set of e.t. streets. Now I just do a burnout, stage, and drop the clutch pretty high! I am glad to see that there are other younger guys on this site with quick cars!
