you'r launch?????/

Uhh... maybe you should practice your launches. i mean thirdgens don't have the best suspension for drag racing for a stock 350 and i'm pretty positive that if the only two runs you get in are babying it the first time then WOT the second time you were probably spinning the tires. it could just be you being inexperienced at driving. i mean what they mentioned above is true too. but i konw of guys with Stock L98s running 14.7-15.2 because of bad traction/poor tires. come on mark you've been around a while and you have picked up on these things????

Do you know the difference between "you're" and "your"?

OK, I'm guessin this was supposed to be a reply to me.

YOU'RE right, I do need to practice my launch skills, I've never been to the track to see. So the 1st run I feathered the throttle.

My 2nd run , I just nailed it, hardly spinnin at all, maybe a chirp.

That's the whole friggin problem, with my setup I should be smokin the tires.
