If I can't stick then lower rpms below 4500. The car needs a 5k launch to run in the 10's because the motor lacks torque. My psi is never above 22psi with DR's. It's usually high teens. Burnout I use linelock and heat them for 5 seconds. Go on YouTube and search bludvlm3. Izzy (IMG) has a ton of videos closeup of me launching and running 10.7-10.8. You will see what the car looks like and how it reacts
Thanks. How were you doing your burnout? Just rolling on in 1st gear?

I think the EAS car had some issued on the burnout where a pic of a "sproket" would show up in the dash. After when that occurred they couldn't use LC. From what I understand their best run of the day was done using the "floorboard" method, not LC. That's probably why they couldn't get in the 10's.
