    I missed my launch obviously.. It was 15.1 at 99.53mph... with traction control on and my overdrive off and boost at 18lbs..

    traction control would help your launch at worst.

    wow, that trap speed is nuts 15.0-15.1 is normally around 90-91mph. I'll take my car up there if you'll run me, I know you can beat my ass but it gives me a reason to go...now if only someone would let me borrow an ITR tranny for a weekend

    *edit*
    I know what the first time running is like....in the staging lanes waiting for the tree to change, sweaty hands, feet shaking, everyone watching, etc...try doing it with a manual transmission or even a bike. My first time running drag was on a low 11 second bike (technically 10's but i had a bigger sprocket on the rear) Then took the car up there and it's like learning to drag all over again...big step from the casual light to light on the street. All the "nervousness" goes away after the 2nd or 3rd run and may be there the first run of the next week but then it'll be gone for good

    You run me and i guarantee you'll be in the low 14's if not 13's before you know it.

    We shall see.. Im ganna get some stock wheels and DR's for a friend to use next time Im at the track.. My 60' sucked and I know the 19s didnt help either. We are also doing a boost leak chest and compression check as well since I have had some problems in the past.. I'm going to have a good friend of mine who drags constantly to drive my car and have me be the passenger so I can watch what he does. I am also ganna let him do one run alone so I can see my cars full potential.
