I actually think ya'll auto guys have it kinda easy. It's hard as hell to get traction w/my peg leg and a 5-speed. I launch at 1200 sometimes and it'll still spin like crazy

i dont know how good your guy's trucks are...but for me, with stuff in sig, i floor it off the line everytime and never any tire chirp or loss of traction. maybe my truck is just weak... my opinion, stall up a 1300 or so and floor it when you see the third yellow light comes on. remember to roll up windows and turn off a/c...

i do weight reduction, so when i run the only weight i have left on my rear tires is the trailer hitch. i take out the spare, tailgate and my subwoofers from the back seat. heres what it would do on the stockers at full weight and a full tank of gass.


being here at almost sea level dosent hurt any either

quick question, this has nothing to do w/weight reduction though. I've heard a lot of ppl say they've removed there pass. headlight, i know they do it b/c the air filter is right behind it, but i'm just curious how much of a gain ppl have saw by doing this??

i would send that wait4me tune back and get him to fix it you should be able to peel out a little bit stock, much less tuned with headers, intake exhaust and 3.73.

anyone think im out of line saying that?

I cant hook for **** even with the tires down to 15psi an off the line @ 1000rpms as soon as i let off the brake im spinning. Thats with a 12bolt posi an some 15x10 wheels an wide tires. But street tires suck *** for grip anyways Once i get some slicks ill see the 13's or mabey if i get the motor tuned...
Sorry for the shitty pics Should get some nice one's from the F body shootout at silver dollar on sunday!
