Jason, why do you repeatedly talk smack yet you're afraid to back up your statement with ACTION. I've been to the track 3 times in the last month, you've been ZERO.
For someone that doesn't even know what "bracket racing" is, and for a someone who has never seen a 'tree' in front of his bumper you've got a lot of nerve to lay down the smack.
Also, how's that granny tranny holding up with the S/C? BURN!!!

The Granny Tranny will do better than your multitude of 13.5 runs. I told you...its only fair if I give you loads of practice to fix your horrendous launches

If I didnt have this EGT issue...I would have done it. I have to wait for Alan for the Borla and see if that helps it. Until then...track is a no-go.

Don't run low psi on street tires. They just aren't made to run in that kind of condition. The best thing for stree tires is to run recommenced pressures. Run low psi and you'll end up hurting your times.
A bog is better than a burn. If you're squealing like crazy off the line, then you should try either a lower launch rpm or let the clutch slip a bit (not a good idea to do very often but it helps).
In reality, our cars don't have a very good drag setup. The rear is too stiff and it won't let it squat. It's that squat that allows the weight to transfer to the rear and give a good launch.
109mph is an awesome speed. You definitely have the hp to run 12s.

hey neff are you hooking up off the line or spinning the tires? as someone stated earlier, feather your clutch and make minute adjustments in conjunction with the gas, essentially "feeling" the car launch. btw, u still have a stock clutch? i'd be careful slipping a stock clutch with all that power and torque...a pair of drag radials should get you to see sub 2-second 60fts on a good launch. if you are serious about drag racing, just get some nitto or bfgoodrich drag radials so you can drive around town with them on. the bf's hookup better, but the nitto's are much better in the rain.

I will have to agree with the poster above. Weight transfer to the rear tires could be your biggest friend. negitive Camber issues in the rear alignment can load your tires sidewalls and kill your 60' times. Your frt shocks, If they do not let the front end lift and transfer weight. Well, just spin the tires and sit there. We bought a nice car that was not set up for drag racing.
It can be done. You can run 12's with your power.
