Stock prepared...........about 15.0-15.5. I see you have a few mods, you might be able to squeeze out a 14.8 or 14.9 with the right atmospheric conditions. It will take you some time to get your launch down right and everything, but once you do it a few times you'll be ok.

I'm thinkin you should come run the Friday night ET series with us this summer. Heres a link for some more info. I will guarantee you will have a great time.

That happens with older transmissions!. It happened with the transmission that came in my 05. I had it replaced for grinding, and now its much better.

Much more then 3000 RPM and it feels like the rear end is going to fall out of the car on the track.

Once you go up there for the first time you will find what works for you best and can experiment from there. You have to find what works for you.

What PSI do yall run in your tires and what widths do you have? Im curious as to what you do to prep the car for your optimal launch.

I am usually at 25-30psi. I run Toyo T1-R tires in the stock sizes on 18's.

That set up worked well in the past but something tells me I may be going to a wider tire with the F/I set up. I will wait and see how she behaves on the track first before I make that investment

Yeah a little, ya know with these stiff sidewall tires they don't give much IMO. So dropping the PSI a little helps some. Obviously the best would be to get some drag radiels or something with a less stiffer sidewall.
