i mean no offense Trent, but it really looks like you need to refine your launch. looks like youre idling off the line.

impressive times though

Launching a AWD manual transmission at that power level can be very tricky. It's a fine line between bog and boil/hop. The sweet spot is narrow and a clutch to hold the power is agressive for it's size. It's no point and shoot automatic. With the MPH he should go 9's for sure when it sorts it self out. Whats the car weigh now?

^i understand that. i realize it is pretty tricky to launch the car, i was just saying if he gets that down, his ET's should come down quite nicely. 1/10th in the first 60' is worth 3-4/10th's in the quarter....

Nice runs ;)

gonna be on the bottle by then scott? you should drive up, run the whole time, then drive home. that would be pretty balls out.

oh yeah, I could be on it by tonight if I really wanted to, just been enjoying driving it as you could tell, still havent tied up all the other wiring yet. but to race good ole Trent I could be ready for it. I could drive it, but those night races suck because I would be pulling into my garage at like 2 or 3 in the morning and the neighbors call the cops on me during the day because its so loud. but we will just have to wait and see what happens, maybe I will drive it up there and back :supz:
