boost seems to be fine...I was paying more attention to my rpm shift points rather that where i was boosting. Shifting at 7000rpms. Launching at 2700 -3000rpms.

Your launching at to low of an rpm. Everyone who gets really good ET's launch at 7500-8000 and hold on!

a buddy of mine told me his buddy had 4 pound rims, that's a total of 16lbs, you can probably get some custom ones at 8-10lbs because 8-10 is more safer, he told me his rims sometimes cracked, but his is 4, if you have 8 they will probably hold. That will lower your 1/4 mile time, i suggest doing the 1/4 mile on a empty tank, but have it filled with some racing gas, and you'll do mid 12's
