doing any regular mainteance that might be due. (plugs, fuel filter, etc.) take all the junk out of the car including spare tire, jack, etc. lower the psi in the front for better traction. check the filter on the cai to make sure its not covered in dust/dirt. did you torque brake or just punch it when the tree dropped?

Man if your kS is in good shape, with your mods you should be running low 15's Ben is running 15 flat with fewer mods. How are you launching? you should at least be able to pull a low 2.3 60'

P.S. steele sucks. You need to make the drive down to MMP sometime. I will be running there a good bit over the next couple months.

I am going to MMP on the 13th !!! Hope it's not too packed so I can get a lot of runs on my first trip to a 1/4 mile track.

Only ever ran 1/8, and possibly the worst track in america.

Although steelies suck, me and Ben have run great times with them. This fellas issue is his driving. His 60' foots are terrible.
