Hey Tim, You've got 3.55 gears right?? That helps out traction also.
Between the Auto trans, 3.55's, traction bars, and 11" of rubber, that makes
for a pretty good "hook" at the line, even with 350 RWHP (est.)
Now, if you could launch at say 3500 rpms, hee hee hee :) well, it would
be one helluva tire smoke show, similar to Alans RT smoke show! BAwaha haa
haa!!
Tim, when are ya going back to VMP?? I'm looking at this Saturday??
