Thats great info...but

you really only need some Drag radials...that will eliminate most of your wheel hop, I have zero wheel hop with M/T drag radials and I changed the IRS diff bushings...that and lots of practice....
you need to launch off idle with these cars...any amount of RPM and your toast...
not bad for you first time..keep it at and it will get better. :tup

its a vert...I sure do, they come stock on all verts...I dont think they are the greatest..but seem to work...and I get no ride noise from changin the diff bushings.
I had crazy wheel hop before, so bad I had to replace the half shafts
2X now...so I know what your talking about...but the d/r's made the biggest diff.

Cool, we were there on the weekend.. I hope you got to see the jet car make a pass!!! It was nuts.

Actually we were all wondering what the hell you were doing, lol.. first time out, that makes sense. I bet if you didn't launch off idle you would be pulling alot better times, but we figured you wanted to baby your car :)

you cant launch a stock 03/04 Cobra off anything but idle....the wheel hop will knock your fillings out...
even with bushings done and drag radials I still launch of idle and can cut a 1.70 60ft
If I launch off any RPM now my new problem isnt the wheel hop..the clutch cant handle it and slips. :banghead:
