you have a line lock on there yet? nobody's asked, but if you dont, that's kind of a must. especially with those tires.
and Nuke: clean out your inbox! i've been trying to msg you for days about the head/cam thing we're both about to do.

Hope the changes you have made will do the trick. You still might want to think about the NOS system if you want a lower cost mod that will add some good HP.

too bad Nuke, I just sold a 150 wet shot system a bit back, that'd be perfect in that car for what you are doing. Was a blast, and for $600-$850 bucks for a solid setup it can't be beat.
if ya go that route let me know, after hooking one up and taking it out I can probably help ya get in in fairly quick and easily
also, I'll pm my email, give me a few days notice and we can meet up at the track, never had my car to a drag strip yet, would be fun.

, I have no problem doing a burn out with TC off and holding the brakes. Plus they put water down in the burn out box. So I beleive I'll be fine. Good thinking though 
I found out that 12psi, fully warmed up, gives me the best launch.

Haha, this is all still mostly about my own personal goals, but taking him on will be a blast! Its this friday, but its just now calling for rain!!! 
I really hope thats not the case because I went all out on the car to get it ready already. Sunday was my only free day to do it, so all items, stock seats, stereo system, etc are removed, front sway bar off, drag pack on, a/c belt off, window wash reservoir removed, and the list goes on!

Well, today should be the big day. The radar I'm looking at makes me think you may have a good shot of no rain this evening.
Good luck and I'm hoping to see some good news in this thread tonight or tomorrow.
We're all rooting for you!!
