if he slips the cluthc at 3k it sould bog him down a bit to around 2k or so before he sees the power. thats what i did to cut the 1.9's on my street tires the first time i went to the track. definitly get it tuned befor you go racing. you can try DB performance in Rogers, or Hi tech in elk river. i persnally use db and like the work that dan does there. You might have trouble getting it in for tuning on such short notice though. again do not race it or get hard into boost without a tune.
Yeah I forgot you can slip the stock clutch like that. I've been riding around with an upgraded setup for so long I "forget" the good ole days...

how to launch: get a 9 in. solid rear axle, a dual disc clutch, and some mickey thompson ET drags.
heat tires inburn out box
bounce on 7000 rpm rev limiter
on green, dump the clutch!

yeah, this was a joke, hehe.

I'm looking forward to the day that I can do that, but it's a long way out!

You gonna do some weight reduction to get that? It'll be difficult if you don't since these cars are a lil heavy in stock form.
