Oh I see

There was a guy on myG37 that snapped his CV joints after installing a S/C from a few launches at the dragstrip, you plan on doing any sort of modification to your axles after your SC install?

Is it possible to have "too much traction"? You probably want just a little wheel spin off the line to get you up to speeds quicker maybe and with DR's on our cars, that might not be easy, not without a pair of snails at least.

Probably the "too much traction" comment. Manuals are supposed to have a little spin leaving the line, autos are supposed to dead hook. Need a higher stall (or torque ) if you think its bogging down too much. Sticky tires= higher launch RPM.

Agreed. But he doesn't have his high stall converter yet. And no one really knows how much the rear end is going to be able to take!

No such thing as "too much traction", just "not enough motor".

Good times regardless!

Going to the track with the new motordyne intake manifold.
Time will tell if it works.
It should give me a better 60 ft and 1/8 times.
