My mods are Xtc cai, and 3inch catback with Vibrant muffler made by aam, and Ngk cold spark plugs, Also have billetflow 3inch pulley waiting to be installed, My times for the day ranged between 14.2-14.5, Cant get picks because the writing wont show up on my shitty digi camera yea i know lame, but here is my fastest time of the day written out
r/t-.114
60-2.389
330-6.258
1/8-9.347
mph-79.50
1000-11.985
1/4-14.201
mph-101.27

K marc i will post up a pic, my experiences with the launch is what i did for my best time was take to about 1500rpms and not really dump the cluth but let it out slowy not to slowy so that i dont get wheelhop and once im out of the gate hit it, i had a horrible time of 16 when i dumped the clutch at 2grand and had wheel hop so bad my abs light came on and i didnt find second gear, lucky i caught back up and beat the rolla
