Shiot we got a 3200 stall in our lade, and we are comming close to making 5 pounds. But we are running more than 7 pounds of boost.

I like the Livernoise kit from what i have seen of it. Very clean work. 
If they launched under 5psi+ there is a good chance that the TQ steer was TQ induced and not from the driver tryin to get Hyphy You can also hear the front tire squeeling some too. Mine used to do that all the way down the track till I lowered the front for race days.
Weedo, you've seen my first 8psi launch right?
Rear shot.. Choppy but cool
Side View, cleaner
Torsion bars NEED to be cranked down on these kinds of launches. A 1.25" drop cured the problem 100%.

Crap - The first post in this thread was supposed to be me calling out the severe toe-in at launch, but I got sidetracked and never posted it. 
I definitely think the toe-in is aggrivating the torque-steer.
BTW, I'm hating AWD more and more these days.

That's cuz I kept the wheel straight and didn't jerk it back and forth.
