Here is how I went about finding a solution:

1. Installed a rotofab intake, thinking a little more air would help. No change with or without launch control.

2. Installed a Tony Mamo ported throttle body, though if I quicker response from the TB would help. Also no change with or without launch control.

3. Installed Mickey Thompson ET Street 305/35/19 Drag Radials, figured if it was a launch control issue I went forward towards having it hookup whit everything turned off. Now there was a difference, still bog with launch control but now bog with everything turned off too! For certain it is a tuning thing.

4. So I went to my local "GO FAST SHOP" and showed what is going on. He plugged into the computer and four hours later said the car is limited in the first 4 gears. Now I'm not a tuner guy so don't sue me, but he said that the setting was like 604 out of a max of 6000. So he tuned it up to 6000. Let me tell you there is a difference now! The throttle response it so fast and the take off is so much more! Just normal driving is better. When you take off it just goes and no lag or bobble on the take off, quicker throughout the entire gears. Its feels the way it should!

So I plan on going to the track tonight to test it out, normal was 12.25 @ 119 and my hero run was 11.9 @ 121 in the 1/4. I hope to see solid 11's.

Keep you posted!
