Default New here...Hello !

Hi, my wife and I both own '07 GT's. Both have flowmasters axle back and S&B Intake (no tune) and wife K&N intake No tune. We went to Atlanta Dragway and pulled 13.8 and 14.0 in the 1/4 mile. We launched at 1,500rpm.
Question: Any pointers for better launch? tire pressure were all around 34psi.

Thanks !
Any pointers on future mods as well. Thank you all !

Yep....tune....maybe better CAI too.....people are running mid 13s stock so you need something to catch up with that alone.

Launch at least 2000 rpms, 2500 if you can. And yes, tune needed.

Welcome!!! Put your front tires at 45 PSI and your rears at 25 PSI. That'll help you some. I had a S&B for the first three months of ownership 'cause I didn't want to mess with the computer. Wanted more power (who doesn't?) and went with a C&L with XCAL2. WOW, what a difference.
