Go for the Steeda SS!! I got mine from americanmuscle.com and it came with a ford racing shift **** for cheap!! It is the best combo imo. Also practice your launching for a while before taking it to the track. Since you have a stick you know there is a sweet spot between the gas and clutch, well there is also a sweet spot when lauching. You want to put down the most power to the wheels when launching without spinning them.

ok look heat the tires a lil..i found that the easiest way is to just role threw the water then dump the clutch and lay on the break...its easy, you wont move anywhere...dont heat them to much cause there street tires and you just want to get the crap off them...when you staged...get the Rs to about 35000 or 4000...on the last yellow light let the clutch out slowly keeping your foot on the gas....the the clutch catches the Rs will drop cause it will watch...try to keep it steady at bout 4 grand...once you start to role stab it...if the tires spin its cool...just dont break them loose to much...a lil spin is better than bogin out...good luck

Alright, sounds like everyone is giving the same pointers. Thats good. It means you guys know your cars well.

Thanks for all the help. I just made a new signature pic for myself so I'm testing that out too.

Thanks again guys.

WHOA! I hope you read this. DO NOT drive threw water box. You will get water on front tires and it will transfer to rear tires at launch. You will be spin city fer sure. Drive around box and do a little spin slide into the lane. DO NOT heat up street tires. It will just make em loose traction. Small pieces of rubber get stuck all over them and its like runnin on gravel. Work on your launch and 60ft times dont worry about 1/4 et. They are gonna suck anyhow cause your new so dont let them bother you. Oh yea and make sure your AAA is paid up LOL. Have fun thats what its all about. Good luck
