Go pick up my stock hood from my friend. He lives 10min from the track. PM me for his phone #.Its a black hood but something is better then nothing.

Sorry I have not been on. It was good to see some of you guys their this past friday. Most of you all showed up at differant times but its all cool. Long story short could only get 2 lousy runs in and did not break 11's. I need to get used to these slicks. I am going again this wendesday so I have get more practice running these tires. I will have a vid up of my to lousy runs if anyone is interested in seeing them.

I will post up a vid today of them. Also I pulled the stop lamp fuse and a big plug that plugs in next to the master cylender. I heard it cuts off the ABS.

Also the slicks felt unstable at only high speeds. I had them all the way down to 15 psi in the cold weather. Also I could not get a good burn out only could do one tire?

what is the purpose of disabling the ABS? as long as the fuse is out you should be good to go on the burn out.
If only one wheels is spinning it sounds like your diff is shot. I get that from time to time, but usually I can get some spin out of both wheels. What rpm are you launching at?
How were your launches botched? Did you spin or bog?

Well I have the enthusiast model and was told that I needed to pull that plug under the hood. So you are saying I only need to pull the one fuse under the driver side kick panel and that is good enough to do the burn out. The first time I launched I did it at 3200 rpms did a 2.4-60ft and did not really bog just the tires could not get a grip and spun alot. The second launch I did it lower like at 2500rpms and did a 2.1 60-ft the tires cought a little better.

all I pull is the fuse in the kick panel and I can do burnouts fine. You need to heat them up till you can see smoke in your rear view mirror. I launch at 6500-7000 rpms. With your power you should be capable of 1.6 (maybe better) 60ft's if the clutch will hold.
