Well after a great weekend of taking pictures of a friend's wedding I am back at home. I also had some time to practice the launch and I think I discovered my major problem. My 2-step is set at 5500 which is just WAY too low to get any boost off the line. Even when I really really slipped it I still fall flat on my face with no boost because of the lag from the 35r. One of my buddies has a cable and I have evoscan so we should be able to fix this and get in the boost range off the line. I think that with my setup around 6400 sounds right, anyone who has had some experience with this in the past feel free to lend some thoughts. 
6400 sounds right but regardless of that launch you should still be trapping higher and should have caught up. There is a lot of criticism you can take into mind here. Sorry I was a little pumped up that was right after.....
When are we going from a roll?

if you could root through your can-o-bolts and find me one, i would appreciate it.
just as long as you don't need any of them to put anything back together. i have a habit of taking things apart, then ending up with an extra bolt here, or washer there, so i just toss them all in to a mason jar, hoping to some day find the place they came from.
let me know if you can find em, or i will stop by sometime soon and help you search. since it is missing that one it rattles a bit sometimes and drives me nuts.
in case you guys couldn't guess, i am on a rattle stopping kick lately.

Thanks Brian.
As for tint...The law is sooooo vague - they basically leave it up to the officer to determine if they can see into your car. There really is nothing that says "x %" is permitted on the front windows. Rear - just about anything flies but the front if you have just about anything on and the cop wants to pull you over, he will - just that simple. Nothing is really safe so you just take your chances and keep your finger on the power window buttons Oh, and Monroeville cops LOVE to pull people over for tint

Raab you're an *******... That whole thread was aimed only at making me look like an idiot. There was a reason for the terrible launch which was out of my control. At first I totally put the whole responsibility for the launch on myself... until I found the problem. It is soon to be fixed... then we will see what happens. Racing from a roll your car doesn't stand any type of chance... ask Garcia about that.
How about I make a thread about prep ******* rich kids who suck their dad's dick to buy him a car, then another car, then another, then another. If you want to make fun of me do it to my face, like a man... or is that something you are going to learn in your next year of high school...

I did almost catch you. You were like 7 or 8 car length ahead on the 60' and I narrowed the gap to like 2 or 3.

And about asking Garcia about the roll.
I would hope you beat a stock car!! (Ask him how he did against a MazdaSpeed 3, 350z, M3, etc). That should explain something Mr. Big 35R. (Jeff I'm not ragging on you man, just trying to prove a point here.) So Dan I wouldn't be bragging about raping a bone stock IX MR when you have a $5,000 build under your hood. That's a given!Since when is 2-3 car lengths in the 1/4 mile an entire second when you're going 110mph?
Don't rag on my Dad or I either. Getting new cars is what we do. Car dealer: buying cars, selling them, and getting new ones. It's a cycle. What more is there to it? He doesn't buy them for ME. We buy them for the company, drive them if we like them, and then when we get sick of one of them, we sell it or pick out something new. If your Dad had a car dealership I'm sure you wouldn't do this huh?
Must be nice when your Daddy hands you an entire business.
Let's go from a roll and if I beat you again you have to take off that pin stripe. Deal?
And if you want to argue or say something do it in a PM, not on a public forum making yourself look like an ***. Being 21 and married I thought you would be much more mature than this.
Please just leave me alone. Thanks.
