Well if you heat the tires up right, then launch correctly, you should break a 13.9-13.8, but if not 14.2-14.4. With dr's, if you launch wrong the car will fall on it's face. You aren't making enough torque or power to overcome a too low of an RPM launch on them.

[patriot] He's right....

Heat the fuck out of the tires, then side step the clutch at about 4,500 rpm, then see how it does...If it bogs raise your launch rpm's, if it spins lower it...

LMK guys...i wanna hit hit 13's!! [Whoo Whooooo!]

15psi in the tires and spin them till you get some smoke to come out and then let off. Good luck on the 13s
