    I know what u mean on the wierd part. I used to launch off idle or maybe 2k and all i would do is butter my tires. I now launch at 2800-3k and all i get is a few squeaks and a much harder launch.

    only way i could do better 60's/1/4 mile if I was launching harder then 3000rpms which after 5 runs i was happy my tranny didnt blow up yet launching @ 3000 lol.
    im right on par for the mods i have. 15.5-15.6. blue estimated 15.7 so im just happy i got .1 better :P
    im thinking with new job=new turbo? see what deals winter brings.

    you got plog and rockers over me but no downpipe, guessing "can" tune? mine was incar, on 91 octane.
    im guessing roughly the same maybe lil faster, its all in the launch. and the tune.

    Pretty good times. If you cam it you'll shave a second off of that. I ran 14.7 with my impala on just a zzp tune to match the GT1 cam. It could have gone faster but I crashed it
