No wheel spin and dropped the clutch at 5500? Is that like dumping the clutch? or did you feather it! Tell it all Thats a great 60 and even better ET/MPH. Any mods?

As I said, those are some awesome stats. I've been twice and am "down" to 2.170 60 with a 12.899 at 111.7. Practice, Practice, Practice. And I have headers as well as a Vararam, X-pipe, Hi-flo Cats and Magnaflow Catback along with a Dyno tune. Car dyno'd at 346 RWHP and 366 RWTQ.
