What do you remember when you first got your supercharger?

I was very impressed with the power it had before. It had a bit of a traction problem, but I learned how to launch it the best I could. Now....I don't know what I'm gonna do. What all did you do? I went from a 12.9 to a 12.8 basically. Help is greatly appreciated. Also, would lakewood 70/30 shocks help me traction issues?

lol you went from a 12.9 to a 12.8 hehehe i guess its true, smokeing DOES really hurt your lungs... and your 1/4 mile times.

you should tell your tires to get rid of the habbit. smoking is a nasty habbit. mine wont listen either...

one day, I shall I need a nice and clear day to do it. I actually would like to get the ol camcorder out too. I have come to the conclusion that the whistling is one of my favorite sounds in the world

Ya man the whistling is the best. I remember the first time I fired it up, it sounded so cool. As far as traction, I am having major problems as well. I thought about 70/30s up front and 50/50s in the back, but I hate to lose my handling. I think my first step is to buy an extra set of rear wheels to mount a set of full M.T. Slicks on them. If I can hook w/ these I'll leave my suspension alone for a while. Check out the suspension board, lots of useful info.
