Sounds pretty good for what you were given. With the power you're making and those tires on a good track that car should be good for mid 7's @ 93-95 mph. Launching at 3500 what did the car tend to go, spin...bog?

Lower the tire pressure next time to maybe 12lbs to start out with. That ought to help quite a bit.

"Ya stomp all over a gt500". With my stock gearing and 300 extra lbs, you definitly have the advantage, but iam willlin to give it a try!:burnout:

tires were at 15lbs and they spun off the line... yeah i think 12 lbs would be a lot better, i think i should heat them a little more also
