It sounds like you had no traction through first and it almost sounded like tires were skipping through first.

LCA's?

What kind of drag's were you running?

 

[Redfire_WNL]

Thats probably what he needs.

^ +1 on that!

You dont want to rev it up to much and dump it because all you will do is spin with a set of old drags....invest in some new tires, and LCAs if you dont already have some. Start launching around 3,000rpms and work your way up from there.

Got a little wheelhop there chief.

^^^^ A little?..........lol

Try messing around wth your car. Practice different launches at diff. RPMs. And some suspension would help your wheel hop.

Driver mod is the most important thing, it takes practice. Im still getting use to my car.

Cool video by the way!

Here is my recipe for improvement.

1: New Bias ET Streets
2: LCA's
3: Drop the hammer at 4,000. If it hooks try 5,000. If it hooks, put it on the rev limiter.
4: Felcro the throttle to the carpet between shifts.
5: If it breaks, fix and repeat.
