Get some gear for that auto. 4.10's should keep you paint on paint or slighly nose him out by a cunny hair...
yeap, along with some DR's. A 3400+ stall converter will do wonders as well once all other mods are done. If u r spinning for a few seconds, thats your main problem right now. If you can hook up out of the hole, you should at least be even with him. Forget roll racing unless u r making SERIOUS rwhp/tq.

I think if you had better tires you should be able to beat him from a dig, unless somehow you just can't drive. My buddies stock 300C with 22's is a real dog off the line till it gets rolling. +roll racing isn't good when it comes to those because once they have all their weight rolling the 340hp/390tq really takes ahold

Did you drop it into first when you went from 30 roll?

no i hate doing that. for some reason when i drop my car into first the tranny sounds AWFUL! almost like there's something wrong. It catches hard and makes a loud noise. something aint right there.

Tires, then gears, and then a tuner to firm up the shift points.

Tires will probably do it from a dig though, well, that and learning to ease into the go pedal.
