I've launch at 8-10 psi with the stock converter, but like others have said torque steer gets pretty fun.. I also made limiting straps well bolts rather, but I have not tried them out yet.....


Here is one of my videos of a couple 8+ psi launchs, well the first run a is around 5-7 the second is higher and traction started to become an issue..
Boost launch

Ive done 10 psi launches. Don't think it will stall up that high anymore with the stock stall, but thats ok with me.

My truck was building 9lbs. down the track but it was reading 10lbs. at launch...thats when I got the 1.69X on 20's. On my '07 classic it has drums on the back. Guess they were trying to save a few bucks, cause my '05 had disks. Have had no problem holding, but even lowering the front for the track, it sure is violent.

Onthe street I launch at 12PSI @3400RPM. The tires haze but it pulls really hard, If I go any higher the tires spin all the way through first gear. My truck is lowered 3-4'' in the front, and 4-5'' in the rear, and Im running 245/17's off a 2wd. The smaller tires really seem to make a difference on the torque steer, and actually get better traction.

They work great on my Ty. Granted it's awd, but they keep the weight on the front end by keeping it nice and level. I don't know why more of you 4WD guys don't run them.
