yeah i know, i tried everything, not heating them up, heating them up, going around the water, it seemed to get me the best results by heating them up and it looks good on the camera. im going to get some slicks REALLY soon.

No i actually haven't had my car tuned, my car still needs a lot of work(good tune, rims/tires and all suspension work) im probably going to work on some tires and suspension, from what everyone says it looks like thats my problem and its kind of obvious, and also the track i run at isn't very good the altitude is about 2600ft above sea level and it gets alot of dirt on the track from being in the middle of the desert. thanks alot for your help.

no your launch is fair...your mph says alot...what rpm are you trapping at?how heavy/light is your car?
you might be leaning out at top end? or rich as hell off launch then clears up some down the track.

My trap rpm is about 5700, my car is full weight only weight reduction i did was remove front swaybar i have a/c, spare tire, full interior, basically everything and i weigh 150 myself, i did go out to the track with about 1/8th of a tank also.
What do you suggest my fuel pressure should be at. If that makes a difference.(i have 19# injectors)

I should be heading out to LACR this month its about 2 hours away from me without traffic.

CrazyFast50Stang Make sure you send me a pm when you go out i'll go too and we can meet up its only about 10 min from me.
