With your converter and gears high 1.6 to VERY low 1.7 60 ft. times can be yours. If you are getting wheel spin try lowering your tire pressure in 2 PSI intervals. Are you brake stalling your car or flashing the converter from idle?

Try flashing from idle, the ST3500 does better when you flash it, at least it does in my car. If you flash it I am pretty sure you will have to lower your tire pressures because the converter will hit your tires quite a bit harder.

Great times :thumbs: ..I was talking to a very knowledgeable vette mechanic today and he said if your brake fluid is even the slightest bit low, when we launch real hard, the computer may sense a problem and it will turn on the ARS even if we have disabled it...just a thought...I'm checking mine tonight... :D
