tia,

Thanks....I was basically launching like a pu$$y, my tires were so bald even at 26 psi they wouldnt hook at all. On stock tires I was slipping at about 3000 rpm, cutting 2.0 60ft's, but when I tried that this past time I just spun to redline, had to let off for a split second. After that I would just come out of the hole at like 1800 rpm, with a quick slip. I am dissapointed with my times, but I am happy with my trap speed. Next time I go I'll have some new rubber, a pop-charger instead of the AEM and my crank pulley installed. 13.40's or I'm driving into a wall...

The car has a lot more launch in it, even on street tires.

So how did you end up running with the new set up or did you have to drive into that wall?

LOL, the past 2 weekends its been $hitty weather so I havent been to the track. When I ran these times I had an AEM/plenum/test-pipes/Injen SES....these mods netted me 243 whp only 4 over my stock dyno. Now I run a pop-charger, and hit 254 whp, and I added a crank pulley and new tires. This weekend is looking good weather wise so I will be @ the track....
