If you are familiar with road racing, then you know that safety is important. Watch a few cars before jumping in line. Where is the return road? Is there one or two? Which side?

The only tricky time that I have is when the humidity is 80 percent plus and the surface is slippery. First gear is no big deal because you expect wheel spin. At times wheel spin in second gear surprises me, and I end up with the car pointed at the wall.

If I had to concentrate on on particular area it would be 60-foot times. Experienced street racers often go to the track for the first time and run 2.2 second 60-foot times, then are disappointed because their ET is 14.0 seconds plus.

Be safe. Have fun.

never got to put high numbers, the car started getting to hot on the dyno, after we were done tuning low boost, and now i have a freakin problem with this stupid kit that the pipe that comes from the intercooler to the turbo, is coming off b/c the stupid clamp turbonetics supplied that connects the pipe to the turbo on the driver side is too big so it keeps popping off after a high load on the car, and im seriously getting sick after 2 days of having the car back ive had to jack up the car, take off my wheel, open the fender well and fix the pipe, and put it all back together what a pain in the **** seriously, theirs just something that turbonetics took for granted that really **** me off sometimes.

Does your pipe come off at a certain boost range? If it is coming off before 10psi then the pipe/coupling/clamp isnt aligned correctly. I had some issues as well(pass side IC charge pipe to charge pipe that goes up to intake pipe-coupling needed to be like 1" longer to make it easier to adjust), but they had sent the wrong clamps so I tried some clamps that didnit hold bosst, with the correct clamps problem solved....
