yeah, you need some more practice. FWD has its limitations but with a stiff rear springs and some sticky tires, good launches are easy.

i typically get low 1.8 sec 60fts with my MT 22x8x15 et drags at 12psi. its cake too… i have a 4500rpm launch limiter and i leave at 9psi of boost. stage and mash it and wait till the last yellow and get .500-.600 lights.

on streets i get 2.1 60fts and a little wheelspin in 1st and 2nd.

the wheelhop goes away with slicks too.

the last time i was there, i came out of the hole faster than alot of cars there with fwd, even rwd automatic drag cars with big slicks. cutting a good light helps too.
