Man, that's awesome. Your trap speed is fast, you'll be in the 11's if you can get that thing to hook.

Feels like you are pulling a couple G's just watching the launch in that video.

I hope your drive-train is up the the chore of holding the jerk when the nawz hits once you do get proper traction sorted. Seems it's too high a spike at the power level you're asking it to hold. Is there anyway to ramp-up the nawz rather than simply on or off albeit staged? I think you're very soon to scatter the drive-train. The loss of traction is your current saving grace.

Regardless, you might consider learning to pucker your mouth as you hit the button. And pucker it hard as when the nawz hits and you've got secure traction, the G-forces are gonna pull a hurtful grin on your head.

I'm planning on trying to bring on the power gradually to save the rearend. I just need to bring it in a bit quicker than in the video

Trans has a billet shaft and has been 1.50 sec to 60ft in Harvey's Ramcharger, driveshaft is new, so the rearend is really the only thing I am worried about.

That's the first time I ever got down the track hitting all my gears and lock up. First pass I forgot I had overdrive and went 13.7 at 98mph
