oh okay didn't know you had stock suspension...guess I can't compare myself fully to you then cause I got complete suspension mods from lakewood drag struts and shocks,MM panhard bar, grannetelli upper/lower control arms, D&D k-member with tubular front a-arms and coil overs and subframes...what a world of difference all the mods make it's like a stiff piece of wood going down the track...but I still got the front sway bar attached too!!!!!

My back suspension is pretty well set up, and I have sub frames, I just need the front done. Sounds like you have nice ride there. I'm a little jealous, but then again, my car has come a long way in the 4 years I have owned it. Next year it will be a different color.

Stanger. what kinda burn out are you doing. Those tires shouldn't be loosing traction at all. Either the track is poorly preped, or you're not heating them up enough.

Second gear, hold till I see some smoke....not like you. Them I roll out of the water spinning and let them go until the start grab. They hook good, I just don't transfer weight well...watch this video

Sounds like they are living on borrowed time, but it makes me feel better...I don't have that kind of power.

I assume he just heats them until he barely sees smoke, unlike other people who smoke their tires for a good few seconds or so...
