Not that I would know, but list your set-up- from the motor to the tires.

If you think you have a chance to do it on street tires, you don't know much about it. Not that there is anything wrong with that, just an observation. I don't care if they are 315's or not. If you are launching hard enough to pull the wheels you will need a $1000 built rear end. Good shocks/struts/spring, An aftermarket stall converter, Drag slicks and some good chassis stiffening components like control arms, subframes, etc.... And alot more power than you have now, unless you are wanting to strip your car down to 2500lb.

You have no idea how much it takes, especially to do it reliably (without breaking crap every time like I do.)

you got a long way ahead of you.

best bet would be a 3000-3500 stall. some slicks. skinnies, and a 125-150shot. and even then we are only talkin about maybe an inch or two under your left tire.

you want both tires up? forget it lol
