No matter what I absolutely could not hook in first gear. Second gear also always broke traction to the point of violent wheel spin.


At this point I am putting HP gain aside in favor of traction aids. Starting with drag radials. All in all I am pleased. I still have stock PCM spark timing and PE tables. All tuning I have done so far has been to the idle and part throttle driving so I am excited to see what she can really do once PE is dialed in and she hooks up hopefully not break the 10 bolt


Any tips or suggestions?

that's a good start and consistent

most people start in the front = engine, and work back = rear+ suspension
all that spinning feels good until the guy in the other lane is in front

I remember the first time I went best I could do was a 13.3. Went back next time with drag radials and ran a 12.9.
