Thanks for letting me and my little motor hang out with you guys. Buck and I agree, road race tires won't work for that car on a drag strip. The video that you got was me on low boost yet it was pretty much the same time as I was running with high boost, regardless of an additional 100 HP. I did eventually get a 7.7 but I had to do more of a man's burn out (instead of those little dinky ones I was doing). Some slicks or drag radials are on the way which should change those results drastically.

that should put a little pressure to where if you are lifting the wheels... when we are all there watching for it, it wont happen...

... naw, but for real, it'll happen... i think i just need to really hit it hard off the line. i'm pretty sure that on the run in question, i was behind a car with full slicks, so they might have put some hot rubber down for me.FYI: sunday is superbowl. dont think there is going to be a track day... there are beers to drink

well.... not 'jk'... i was launching around 5000-5500. i got a 12-bolt and a TDP clutch for a reason! 
the only reason i cant launch more consistently, is because my rev limiter was increased, and i havent quite mastered the ability to roll to the 2nd stage light with the motor tached up to 6k without breaking the beams... i'm pondering a two-step so i can be more consistent.
