No I have nittos but I have never been good at the track at my launches. I had the 10 bolt in my camaro when I had it and didnt want to break it and im just now getting comfortable trying to launch the **** out of my car now that I have a good dif.

Dont worry about track times or mph man....your car has always performed great on the street and thats what matters.....its fun hurting peoples feelings on the street that go faster than you at the track! Itslow98- if the car is still running this fall im going to try and go 10s on the stock shortblock.....should have 170k miles by then. Hope she makes it!

I never do digs on the street either, pretty much all rolls...im slipping the clutch way to bad im pretty sure. But honestly ill admit I really don't know what im doing when im launching but this last time I started moving in the right direction.

Perfect example here this particular vette when it made 373rwhp went 12.50 at 115 but beat 2 heads cam fbodys that i know for a fact are great drivers from a roll....key word being "roll". This particular vette also when it trapped 115 beat another vette that runs consistent 120-121 mph and then backed it up by racing him again and running door to door all the way to 160? How does that happen? Its the street and anything can happen. And vettes are absolutely amazing from a roll. I cant even remember how many cars ive beat that ran a better et and had more mph.....in this case....he beat me and there is a good chance i will run faster at the track.

He understands that he's seen me run terrible times at the track lol and still run fine from a roll. I'll try and disprove the trap speed thing to him by letting him take my car down the drag strip and show it'll trap alot higher than what I've done just from a good launch compared to my terrible ones haha
