Performance TC will help.

It's a new Denali so it has the 6 speed.

Just a shot in the dark too, are you turning off the traction/stability management? During the launch it could think it's powerhopping and pulling timing.

Haha I was going to drop the spare next year when I go back to the track, never thought to go as far as pulling the seats, might have to just take it that extra step.

As far as someone else driving my truck? No way I would let someone else run it down the track unless they had the cash in pocket to fix anything that breaks.

Fuses is the way to go, never have to worry about forgetting to press it down and launching with it on.

Lol I was bored that day but it sure makes a difference, only person who I ever let run my cars is my lil bro @ 15 years he would take his 03 cobra to the track without no one knowing until I busted his *** but now he's my backup driver lol
