ive got my 60 ft time down from 3 sec to 2.2 sec from just holding the brake and parking brake and rev to about 2500 and drop the parking brake when it turns green. all that was on mine is a injen intake and hks ssqv bov.

Buy a converter with a higher stall. Then you can footbrake the car and build enough boost to launch hard. You should be footbraking the car now to the point just shy of rolling thru the beams. How much boost are you building on the line? Are the tires spinning?

Get a standard car, automatics are not meant to race.

Funny looks like you got more trouble than me with that e.t and speed!

AAAHHHH:laugh:

I don't see your time slip, and I can garantie you, you ain't getting 13's in the 1/4 mile with that 60 footer and a 16g. don't forget I still have the T25

hold the brake and hit the gas until around 1800 rpms... any higher and youll hurt the tranny.... when the light turns green let go of the brake and hit the gas... the e-brake isnt necessary to launch correctly
