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

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.
