nope, didn't do that. Really didn't have time that night they where rushing us through so fast and we got there late. It was some drag/show day or something and a ton of people where there. I don't want a GREAT drag car just a fast one lol. No seriously I want a well rounded car and if 13s are all I can do then so be it.

you need to launch a lot higher than that. on BFGs (235/60/15s) i was leaving the line at 3500-3700 RPM with a pretty similar setup (shelby underriders though). still not stellar 60fts, 1.90s, but a lot better than 2.0+ this was with about 12-15lbs in the tires and a pretty burly burnout.

also, shift a little higher. you don't shift AT your HP peak, you shift ~10% past it, so around 6k.

if you aren't afraid of destroying your T5, try power shifting. it was worth a tenth in the 1/8th mile and 2 tenths in the quarter for me.

I would rather not destroy my t-5 just for a couple tenths I'll try those other 2 suggestions though, thanks.
