I bet you might just be addicted!! Don't even worry about reation time, it doesn't factor into your ET. Sometimes I will sit there 2 or 3 seconds till I get the launch rpms where I want them. If you plan on running the car, get you some drag radials ( i might have a spare set of wheels and drag radials for sale, not sure yet). There are a couple of fairly low buck suspension mods that will help too, especially with your car being lowered.

Shoot me a PM if you have any questions about anything. I by no means know it all, but I'd be glad to tell you what has and hasnt worked for me in the past.
Ended up doing the same last night. My #'s were decent. My crown of the night was smoking an 04' GTO off the line and through the pass. I pm'd you some questions. I have to admit It was fun!

Steve, for sure if have a set please let me know. My car has been solely built for road racing minus the blower of course. The first guy i raced chuckled as soon as he saw my engine after seeing my tires. Im a bit ignorant on drag racing, i still had my coilovers on the stiffest setting and my tires were at 35psi. Was a learning experience for sure.

Anyone going to the Full Throttle show in Dunn tomorrow? I'm debating between that or cars & coffee.
It does fall on a weekend so it looks promising for me.

I'll be in Florida with the Subaru cleaning out Pop In Law's garage, but the Heart of Carolina has a group going down.
