My first trip was with the Needswings intake. 13.2 is fast for stock so I think you got the launch down pretty good. My favorite part is when women and children crowd around the car and then head back to report what kind of car and what mods the car has, or doesn't have.

im runing stock pressure in both front and back. used to run about 3or5psi less but went for my 30.000mi inspection and didnt want them asking questions about the light being on. cant take off my grill because of my lazer shifter's (have pic's in profile) are mounted to it and would be a hassle but im sure it would help from what i have been reading on here but i like how hidden thay are for rideing through VA. my best launch was braking while doing around 1500 rpm when i would try for more i would spin. the one with my worst time i was around 2500/2600 but it also was on me somewhat (i wanted to beat that 5.0 bad but he was all noise. when he first pulled up to me he looked at me with a **** eating grin on his face like he new he was going to win or somthing so i wanted him to eat that grin with a spoon full of my exhaust)so i might have gotten a lil excited.
when i go to the track i dont even park i pull up bye the tower, register, get my lil sticker, then get in line hehe. one day i might take a few min and watch the other cars race but that prob wont last long. but ppl do always stare a few might ask questiong ( most of the time after i beat em) and when i tell them its stock watching there jaw drop is always a nice lil +, and after i tell them what i have planed thay just shake there head and walk away.
