Try launching at 5500RPM and it's better to spin then have alot of wheel hop but not alot of spin let out a little in the throttle when you feel it spin, but not all the way, then goose it again. Try letting the clutch out enough to engage and then letting it out the rest of the way, it's an alternative to dumping it.

I am still installing the Turbo I have to wait till wednesday to get a new O2 sensor to replace the one I stripped out during the install, those suckers just don't want to come out. This weekend I will have some times for you, probally just 1/8th mile because it is two hours to the nearest 1/4 mile. They had an event Saturday there and I was hoping to make it there but no luck w/o the O2 sensor.

I launch at 4k-5k rpm and try to feathered it until I could get traction.

Noticed the petit supercharger ran a 14.1 (but they've got 19's also). How can you tell the 14.2 time is from a stock 8?

Ok,so that explains it...... The slow speed.
A dip in the track and 19" wheels.
i would expect for 3200 plus install to get 60 RWP you could get better that a 4 tenths of a reduction in 1/4 mile.
Lets see the run in the good track.

HP will help one's trap speed - becoming a better driver will help one's 1/4 e/t.
I'd love to have seen your 1/4 mile trap speed; based on your 1/8 mile trap, I'm thinking right around 100mph. What was the trap on your 15.0 run, Adrian?
Cool vid!

check ebay for used sets. no need to buy new when they're just gonna be racing shoes

It looks like I won't be able to make it to San Antonio Raceway tonight. I've got to work overtime. The next available day I can go is June 8th, I'll take the camcorder and post videos after I go.
