Alright finally we set up a time, we going to Rockingham the closest 1/4 mile track closest to Charlotte it's like an 1hour30minutes, We are going to be filming on the way there so expect a video soon by March.
I been practicing my launches over night at 2.5-3.0 slipping the clutch and not dumping it because I don't catch traction that way. I got a little good chirp in second gear with my new tires FALKENS! ha, taking everything out the trunk except the sub because I got to bump on the way there haha,
Tire pressure is set at 21psi, the car feels light with out anything in the trunk, so thats a heads up because I had like a dresser in there ha. Wish me luck 15.1-15.4 here I come.

The Less Weight The Better,tire Pressure Is Is Good Around 16-20psi ,just Be Sure To Warm Up Those Tires,launching At 3 Should Be Good Just Don't Floor It If You Do You'll Burn Up Though The Gears And Have No Traction ....result, Not The Time You Wanted.....take Some Time And Get Use To The Track Practice Makes Perfect.... Don't Expect Your Dream Time The First Run You'll Be Disappointed... Good Luck.....
Mike - i don't think you really NEED to take anything else out of the car. I ran a 16.1 with really bald tires, a tool box and my spare tire still in my car. All i had was the RRM SRI and the RRM Catback so you should be able to hit 15's. I wish i could find my timeslip for that run...
