13.2 on free-beef tires is pretty good. Id be happy w/ that.

Re: 1st time at the strip
 

I thought it was the tires, cause im pretty sure my spedo was jumping up with the revs, but don't hold me to it, i was paying atention to what was in front of me. My clutch is rated to 282 flbs or something like that, and it didnt do it again when i would switch to the high boost after launch.

but if that is the case, dose that mean i need a new clutch, or did i just glaze it or something???

Spinning in 5th = alignment problems. Remember to get the car aligned after your traction bar install for maximum satisfaction. :)

haha i didnt catch that one. spinning in fifth at the track would take a whole lot of power, or a really wet track or something really wrong.

LS @ 15 psi should be 300 whp or less in a heavier sunroof car with PW and PDL, etc. He'll pull much better times with a little more suspension and practice, but that's not the power to weight where you spin in 5th on street tires.

Id fill some motor mounts too, it might help some with the wheel hop but you get some vibration obviously.. Cheap though
