Definitely will be in contact. I bought a TB spacer from you guys at Darlington during MW a few weeks ago. Great people and great prices.

Look at Lower Control Brackets (LCB), they'll put a virtual triangle on
your rear, that will plant the tires better. Whiteline on AM = $109.
Yes better LCA's lol. And I'll definitely looking into the brackets!

Here's my best run of the night. 13.742 at 103.96 MPH. Got 12 runs in tonight and had a blast. The racing bug is starting to get to me now.

Awesome! I'd be happy to help you out with the control arms & relo brackets.

It definitely sounds like you're hooked on the drag racing bug. The fun starts now!

I had an 06 with the stock pirrellis I was running 13.5s with and SCT tuner. The key is to do everything exactly the same every time. You don't need to play John Force and smoke the tires. Street tires get greasy when they are heated. Just spin them enough to get them clean and grip the track well. You'll know if you have done this right. Rev the motor on the line enough to get the clutch out without bogging or spinning. That is what you are going to TT night for. Start at 2000 rpms and go up by 500 incriments until you blow the tires off. I found somewhere around 2500 and 3000 would be good. Get the clutch out as quickly as you can so you aren't slipping the clutch. This worked for me. I've yet to burn out a clutch drag racing with around 500 passes under my belt. It's not easy and takes practice. Pretty soon you should be able to dial that car to the .01 sec and you can make some money racing legally.

PS. If your clutch is really that wonky, I wouldn't race it until you get it fixed
