What will it run ?????????

Just added this to my truck:
PSP 6lb pulley
PSP Air filter KIt
PSP Dual flip chip street and track use 100 octane
90mm MAF
Lakewood traction bars
2in drop shackles
Nitto drag radials
NGK TR6 Gap @ 34

Last week in alabama heat it ran 8.67 with just a K&N and single program chip that was conservative.

So If it hooks pretty good what do you think it will run in the 1/8 mile on the race program.

Somewhere between 7.9 to 8.1 depending on the heat and if you can hook it up.

Does anybody got any tips on lauching when it was pretty much stock I would just stab the throttle through the floor board. I wouldn't stall it up or nothing just romp on it and it would go 1.94 60fts on F1's without a hint of wheel spin.

Unless you have an after market convertor you will be wasting your time trying to stall it.
Maybe just a little throttle, 100 to 200 rpms above idle and stand on it when the lights change. I used to barely turn the staged light on and would leave when the next to the last yellow went out. I believe my best was a 1.70 using this method, and cut several low .500 lights.
You will find out that almost anyone you talk to about this will have an individual opinion on what works best.
I do know that the less heat you put in the tranny before you launch the better off you are.
