good work. 2200 or less launch rpm. 22 psi or less tire pressure front. jack rear up
rotated mounts
cooling mods
dont try and side step the clutch on launch.
good luck. hard on ur car
what do you mean by side step the clutch?

do you mean just releasing the clutch at launch

Not bad runs at all.

What's the elevation you're at? Trap speeds seem a little low to me, even with wheel spin.

Also, where are you located? Typically, August is the worst month to go to the strip as high ambient temps can really affect your power. I live in the South so I would never take my RL to the track in the summer. Even at night, the temps are still in the high 80s/low 90s with 100% humidity. Definitely not optimum conditions for running your car, particularly with our heat soak issues.
