Last RPM(Rodney trans) lasted over 30 runs , plus a ton of hard street driving . I've got 11 runs between 9.3 and 9.6 , so far on my newly freshened Rodney trans .

I'd guess you've solved the wheel-hop problem.
Outstanding picture, and since it's black, I'll tell everybody that's my car.

Mike:
Is that pic with your current setup? From the video of your recent runs, it didn't look like you were launching that hard.
