I would still favor ET Streets at your HP level for that 13.x timeslip vs. a drag radial, if you don't want to break your axles don't leave higher than 4500 rpms and if you have trouble spinning drop the tire pressure to about 10-12 PSI and do a decent 10 second burnout.

sounds like a one bad luck incident to me....+ the spec two is a pretty cool clutch... I run a centerforce dual friction and can powershift / launch on e.t. streets all day long [Confused] ?

Also, reaction time has nothing to do with getting a better e.t., only matters if your racing someone or bracket racing...

address your traction issues and driving skills before more mods. If your spinning bad now more h.p. is not gonna solve your problem.

Powershifting is when you shift without lifting your foot off the gas. Jus keep it pinned to the floor and hit the clutch and shift, you gotta do it fast or you might miss a gear. Good Luck practice makes perfect

But if I am correct, you can fuck up synchros, and the clutch in time, by doing it.
