Street tires aren't made to grip at high temeratures. __________________ 2001 BULLITT GT I DON'T CARE WHERE THE CAR IS MADE. IF YOU CAN'T BEAT IT DON'T TALK SH*T!

You could also look into getting some rear control arms, to get a little better traction. __________________ Work Hard....Play Harder. http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...dMustangs2.jpg

Steeda Sport springs are only going to lower your car 3/4" - 1". I installed them on my car and pulled them off and sold them. Didn't give me the look I was wanting.

Start with some better tires and go to track for a more accurate 60' time. Lots of practice.

sweet thanks man, i will keep that in mind. last night i went behind a warehouse on a big open straight stretch and ran a 14.14 @101.7 with a 2.2 60ft. i dont know how accurate that damn G-tech is though. probably not too accurate. anyways i've been practicing launches and i've been getting better. when i take it to the track i can hopefully get a decent launch.
