That's awesome! Just getting that thing tuned (even if it is with a handheld programmer) would put you in the 13's all motor! With some more gear and a set of tires you should be in the mid 13's even without the blower.

Maybe your right .... I would need a way to adjust shift and tcc tables before I go with a shorter gear. It would also let me fix the speedo too.

I see potential for 12's coming up REAL soon! Of course traction is going to be a really big issue.

Next time try putting it in reverse and backing up a few feet before your burnout. That should lock the diff for you.
btw.. nice times. That is nearly the same times I got last time I was at the track on street tires. Good job.

Sounds like some of your traction problems come from spinning your tires too fast on the burn out. The G-80 in my truck unlocks after 20 mph, so if I did a pedal to the medal burnout with wet tires, one wheel would unlock and not dry off. The result would be a horrific burnout off the line due to one wet tire and a disengaging locker.

Now I do low speed burnouts and try to keep the wheel speed just under 20 mph. It's tough to get right, but with some practice you can get both wheels to lock on burnout for a few seconds. That should help ya.

Great times!
