Default New to the track...

I have a couple of questions. I visited the track for the first time two weeks ago and it was a nightmare lol! I have a semi stock c5 but with a A&A super charger and I could not get any traction. I am running 305-25-20's PS2's which are pretty good I thought. I feathered it off the line and then punched and it broke lose twice. I chalked it up and tried 3 times with no good results. I ordered some mt streets but I am worried about breaking things now. I am close to 500 rear horse power so is this going to break some stuff? What should I do? I do not have a line lock so will power breaking hurt my C5? It's only a 1/8 mile track. Thanks for the advise in advance.

You need tires and some parts to upgrade your rear.

Have fun and keep at it.
