I get wheel hop trying to launch over 2100 RPM with the tune in, might just be too much power for your suspension/tires to handle.  I never cared because I figured even if it wasnt wheel hopping it would probably be spinning which would hurt my times anyways.

OK.Maybe I should cancel the trans brake and 5000 stall;)

Check your front/rear suspension to make sure your Struts/shocks are not shot which are prone to leaking especially @ 60K! .Z

They seem to be fine.I will be changing the struts and shocks next year as I am not impressed with the ride.Thanks.

Just about to hit 60k on my car and can't do better than a 1.84 60ft, if sticky summer tires don't help I will start looking at suspension.

I noticed my nose was lifting up in the air upon launch and installed new H&R Springs,Struts,Shocks and went from a 1.844 to a 1.752 -60' Times,just some food for thought.  Z

This is coming from an Auto-cross guy but drags as well. He recommends Nitto NT555R or NT05 as they supposedly have better straight line traction compared to other tires.

Not cheap but highly recommended. This guy knows his stuff. I think he went to Lincoln this year for the finals.

Those are pretty serious street tires.I ran NT05Rs on my 9 second C5.Here's a vid of big block Camaro I ran.

Well If you are serious about your times. I am sure this will knock off a few something time wise once you dial it up a lil bit. Especially if lets say AJP made adjustments to launch better so he can add more power then.
