your gsr fat 5's are lighter than your steelies. you're better off with the 5's. imo, go with 2" exhaust with your current setup. but anymore, then get 2.25" ...

Don't worry about your mods, just get that 60' lower by slipping the clutch; letting it out slower just before the wheels start to lose traction.

Yea I don't think 2.5 piping is hurting you. When you drag race, ur never in the low RPM's if you launch correctly so low end torque doesn't matter. Get that 60 foot down

You better take you own advice. JFWY. 95mph should be good for a mid 14sec run.
Jawn. Like everyone said get that 60ft down and you should knock a few tenths off your ET and maybe run a 15.9-16.1? Sticky tires with lower air pressure will help a lot. What tires are you running and at what PSI? I launch around 3500-4500 on my Nitto's(daily tires). BFG's I launch 4000-5000. It all depends if the track is hooking or not. Try different rpms and see what works. Feather the clutch until the wheels begin to grip. Let it out to soon you may bog, to much rpm and you may spin. Just gotta find that happy medium in between. Shift fast and don't miss gears. Just get out there and practice and you will see improvement.
