Race them from a dig,...you'll be alright for a while.

When we raced the SVT Cobra, he woulden't race me from a launch.....he only said he'd race from a 25mph rolling start. His buddy in the 2005 GT didn't stand a chance....we dusted him bad....rolling and from a launch.

You see what I mean,..."only from a roll"... whats that tell you?...lol. Homeboy can't lay it down. Sucks for him.
As for your 18 inch falkens dawg,...not exactly known for traction on a sprayed LS1 bro. Better borrow some drag radials,...even from a 25 roll. Personally, on street tires, on motor, I have traction issue up to third. On goodyear F1's that is. 295 18's.
Grab yourself some better tires, and con him into a dig.

On a side note I don't understand why some people post dyno#'s and no track times. If your big into the street scene and run for money then I can see your motivation. Buddy's brother-in-law was at Milan Dragway two years ago and there was a blue Z06 there running very fast. It was obvious it was a turbo set-up but no times displayed up on the clock and no plates on the car. They just picked up their timeslips and kept to themselves. There was quite a bit of speculation as to what the car ran but apparently it was a lingenfelter TT pkg. and they run it for big $$$ on the street.

Don't get spray, that's cheap IMO.
Get DRs, gears, and the minor bolt-ons and do it from a dig. You should take him out of the hole and hold it there. Get your license plate to say: CBRAKLLR or MONGOOSE or STNGKLLR or POTATOE. That would be pimp.
