isn't there a way to come off line in 2? wouldn't that give you a better launch? I thought I read that before...I dunno nothing about that stuff.

On an automatic in our cars? I don't think so. You could do it in a manual I suppose. You'll take off, but I can't imagine it being quicker skipping a gear.

I thought I read somewhere about a pcm mod or something that will start you off in 2nd? It was brought up when someone said they put their shifter on "2" and it went from 1-2 and no higher.

Yeah, looking back, I know it's a buick. I just didn't care at the time I posted the vid. By the way, Detroit, I definatly plan on dippin into 12's. I'll still be here in Bahrain for most of the racing season. I may get a couple runs in before the tracks close for winter. But over this next winter I'll be doing my tranny, and maybe a cam. Don't know yet. I'm not sure how far I want to take this. Just getting to 12's is my ultimate goal for this car. I think tranny and a little more experience/technique will do it for me.

When you get back (safely) come on up, event is in October, I'll be running around all summer dipping into the 12s (hopefully). Planning to hit a few non local events in ON, OH, IN, MI, possibly further...depends on a few things right now.
