Launch control is at 7200rpm, launches very well

Not exactly sure on boost on launch but it has -30% less boost in 1st gear

I am having the launch control adjusted before next time out as it sounds rather slow

actually street legal FWD classes were just starting in about 2002-2003 (SWFD-Turbo4-ProAm-FWD), and at the time the ladder was anywhere from 9.90's to 10.90's....

closer to 500 bhp on a dynojet.. we didnt have any of the fancy liberties back in the day as there is now.. my 60's sucked.. lol

The class started the year i started racing competitively, but the year before was the time period where there was a big push to get a class opened up for the street guys like Jason Hunt, Brian Ballard, Karl Hedgepath, Steve Lockett, Brian Fisher, myself, etc

They finally allow you guys to poke the tires out of the wheel wells? About god damn time.

Looking good boys. Nice and simple setups and throwing down nice times. Good stuff.

Manifold should be front mount if you are serious about drag racing and not going to drive it on the street. Top mount is not the way.
