Here you go, you were looking for a wheelie. Full throttle off the trans brake. I've been using a throttle stop to slow it down for the 10.50. Car pulled to the left so I short shifted it as I straightened it out. Hurt the time a little.

Damn,

and here I was all proud of my little launch pic and my "almost a paper thin amount of air under the right front tire" LOL until I saw that!

Nice launch Vinnie.

Thanks Mark. you'll need a trans brake and come off the two step at 5000 and you should get them up higher.

True...although with a brake and a 5k stall/launch I'd most likely be doing nothing other than leaving bits & pieces of 6L80 transmission all over the starting line LOL.

when the juice hits a 100 shot in first around 4300. yes i pull a little left also and have basically no steering for about 30ft when on juice, gives me a second to pray
