your pump has nothing to do with your rpm. its simply not working. you are running so slow because the car is pulling timing on top of the already high intake temps.

I know roll racing is alot different, but I seen in your other post in another thread that you wax GT's all the time, I take it this is from a roll and not from a dig?

yea typically i only race from a roll because my iat get to 130-150 sitting still for less then a few seconds and when im rolling in a low gear they drop tremendously so i start with like 80 iat 2s instead of 130 or hotter.

you need some traction mods .... ie. ingalls torque damper, rotated trans mounts, poly mounts, tires etc. Anyone of those mods together or seperate will help with traction, and allow you to obtain a better launch.
