    You might want to work on your reaction time as well. You look like you are in a deep sleep at the line LOL
    Definately get some drag radials. I got mine and I found a .1 sec drop in my time and I am MUCH more consistant.

            Exactly. I wasn't worried about the reaction times since I was trying out different launch ideas. But something just did occur to me. I have variable rated springs on the rear. I put them on there since this car used to be my 'truck'. Variable rate springs get stronger when you add more weight and therefore would be horrible for weight transfer. :rolleyes:

                  Yes, my thoughts as well. I do understand that the reaction time fits into the whole dragracing experience but I am just working on one piece at a time.

                    understandable. Work on the launch, then the shifting, then the burnout, then the r/t.
                    or is it burnout, then launching, THEN shifting, then r/t.
                    oh yeah, your brake comes in handy at some point.
