    What was the track temperature, barometric pressure and density altitude?

    You had drag radials and couldn't hook until past the 60ft... The throttle isn't an on/off switch. Practice launching and you will have a better ET your next time out.

    Spring blockers in the rear would help reduce suspension travel, and poly mounts all around would help get more torque to the ground.

    If you only run the drag radials at the track, you can prep them with any number of substances in different methods. I would advise doing your own research on that if that's something you're interested in.

    Instead of the intense tune, you should get HPTuners or have a local speed shop tune the car for you. Intense is in Ohio, so the density altitude and barometric pressures used for their tunes may not be accurate for where you are.
