if i had some slicks launch it that high too.... but all i got is some street tires that spin like crazy if i launch at like 3000rpm. but if i launch at like lets say 2000rpm the ****** just wont go. and as for my set up i got a t25 turbo .42 .48, dsm 390's, starion ic, boost is @ 7lbs as of now. so would my best bet be to get some drag radials? and launch it high?
