Have you ever heard of tapping the clutch pedal instead of letting off the gas?

No doubt Nathan! I can't help it it's better than anything Kingsdominion has to offer. My problem was always trying to follow the dumb ***. I'd be sideways thinking I'm glad he does bodywork!!!

lmao made my stomach turn on 16inch winter tire set up. He makes me nervous just watching it drift a 45mph on ramp at 80+mph. If I had to guess he was around 90. When he took me out on 16s I told him I had enough I was done in 2 miles. Car handles incredible. I have no sway bars screw turns

AAHHH the traditional powershift. I knew someone would bring that up. Works great for 13-16 sec cars. But if you spin the tires any at all on the shift you loose any time you would have gained by doin it. It's also hard on parts and with this much power you really need a more dedicated drag tire than I like to run. Powershifting also seems to make the car bobble...again you never want to unsettle the car. There are guys out there that will argue powershifting is the best way.......most of those guys have never used a fp t56. Powershifting feels fast because it's violent. A smoth fast shift will usually get you farther. Here's another vid Heater from the outside at MIR. Can you tell by looking where the shift is?

Wait till the ignition cut goes on...then I won't lift.
Lingenfelter did some data logging with and w/o the cut.....very interesting and then you will quickly learn which way is best. I worked on the Yokohama BMW's years ago. We put ign. cut on them when we were using a Hewland gearbox. Once you get the cut time right it works really smooth and it's not nearly as hard on parts.

you say procharged like it means it should automaticly make me run 10's. It's a P1 @ only 6 psi..not really alot there bud

cammed..yep..it has a very small (only a lil larger than stock) cam that is far from being a good cam for boost..the LSA is all wrong as well as small lift..it was on the car when I got it.

headers...yep..Mid tubes!!, and high flow cats..and Borla cat back..not the most optimal of exhaust setups BY FAR!

TB..lol yeah an 80mm..that's not much larger than stock incase you dont' know alot of ppl go alot bigger on TB's

suspension..yep I got some decent suspension mods but am also lacking alot of things most ppl use to get into the 10's such as QA1's...my suspension is far from impressive I assure you

Moser 12 bolt with 3.90's..yep about my most useful mod I have I must admit

anything else you ******** THINK you know about my car that I can help you understand?
Definitely a lot of "half assing" going on in there. But address it when you can afford it

Straight line people, yes, a properly modded pos can and will beat stock poorly driven super cars IN A STRAIGHT LINE. Do anything other then digs and rolls and the tide would quickly turn.

That's nice and smooth.

Reason I asked, is a friend had a Tremec 5 speed done that way and Liberty (or whoever FP'ed) told him to tap the clutch pedal; so that it would unload the clutch between shifts. His car looked like yours going down the track.
