Nice photo

Yeah Im a Automatic, Stock stall and programing. Just the mods in my sig.

I guess the tubular rear lower control arms help.

As far as launching, I bring the reves up just before the tires start to break loose, when the last amber light comes on the let the brake out and floor the gas.

Im haveing that picture made into a poster and t-shirt

What Kind Of Lower Cantrol Arms Adj???

**PEWTER Z** · 12-28-2006, 05:24 AM

Cool photo. Auto's can launch hard if you know what to do. I usually wait at idle, and stab the gas at the last amber. 1.69 is my best 60' so far. Here is my launch photo at Capitol on my way to my 12.36.

great launch!!! is the wheel off the ground?

**PEWTER Z** · 12-28-2006, 08:35 AM

It's hard to tell in my photo, but it really puts my back into the seat when I take off. Those BFG DR's really hook well. Hope my 10 bolt holds up.

**440 rwhp trans am** · 12-28-2006, 02:12 PM

i saved the pic and zoomed in alot they are not off but really close. i have those bfg's too and i can launch like that too. but i got a little more hp. great job!!!

**tx77015ls1** · 12-28-2006, 02:49 PM

I dont have BFG's, I have cheap Falken Ze 512 245/50/ZR/16's $91 each at discount tire

**tx77015ls1** · 12-28-2006, 02:51 PM

Also, they are non adjustable, Forget the brand but they atart with a s

**PEWTER Z** · 12-28-2006, 07:51 PM

Hopefully this spring when I do a cam and intake change I can get into the 11's. Maybe I can get the tire to lift if I get some skinnies up front.

Cool pics, our e.t.'s and traps are pretty close, but mine sure as hell doesnt launch like that! I've got a pic of one of my launches, and I have to tell people that I am, in fact in the process of launching, or they'd never know-cool pics, and cool times for your mods/tires !!!!
