i dont do a burnout, drive around waterbox, on 205s.... did not touch tire pressure... pathetically horrible rear camber... and still do 2.0 60ft.

it isnt your tires, j-rat is making more power and pulled great 60ft...

just learn to drive

hey hows it going with the whole wheel hop thing i hurd that alot of the times its the rear diff mounts that causes it. i just went to the 1/8 mile to night and my best time was 10.488 with massive wheel hop. and i have an N/A. but now my car is really messed up. because i think my broke on one of my last runs. but i hurd alot of wheel hop was from yout diff mounts being broken. i dont know how much they cost but hopefully it wont be too bad. do u still have the wheel hop prob?

there's no point shifting higher until you have intake and exhaust, even then 7000 on stock turbo is lots.

true... sad but true

Removing the rear? Sorry but removing the rear bar is not going to do jack for the launch. If you knew anything about how the FC rear suspension is designed, you would understand that "squat" is NOT desirable. When the car squats, what is actually happening is the wheels are actually being pulled UP by the nature of the design of the reaer suspension.

P.S. What J-Rat said is 100% true, especially number 6.

wheel hop more often than not is caused by blown/worn rear shocks.

unless you have a revv limiter keeping on the gas isn't a good idea since a mis-shift could net you a over rev resulting in possible stat gear failure.
