Lower the tire pressure and try not to go to low profile on the tires.

Try having the rear tires @ 18psi. Remember the warm up (burn out) will make the pressure up.

108 is a nice trap speed. for a car with no TUNE.

just a simple s/c pulley and intake.

the HE just covers sooner than stock and probably helps control the IAt's but we all know the IAt's will still spike after 100mph.


With a tune and better traction.. (60' time).. high 12's no problem.
