I was running about 13 pounds of air in the tires. I have found that I have to do a monster burnout to get the NITTOs hot enough to hook . . . enough of a burnout that I get teased about it . . lol. Funny thing is, it wasn't a very good launch . . . I launched at about 3,000 rpm and the car hook right away and bogged . . . once the rpms got back up, the front end came up. I didn't even know it happened until I saw the video the next day. As far as times go, the car will run in the 12s. But, I was waiting for my roll bar to go in (its in the shop gettin that now) so I was taking my foot out of it on every run. (can't go faster than 13.49 in a vert without a bar).
