Looks and sounds real nice. If you can get the launch down better it would help alot.

yikes, definitly way to much! especially for a un-prepped street, i'd start around .9bar cold if not a little less, because remeber after the burnout your tires are going to have more air in them then what you started with.....also start your burnouts in 2nd gear it'll help heat up your tires quicker and its easier to keep the rpm steady. Definitly nice movie though, i look forward to seeing more

I agree with showoff, lower tire pressure. Try 15 psi, nice 2nd gear burnout. 7500 rpms, and a real hard slip.

You'd be pissed too if someone was doing burnouts next to your bed. The truckers were probably trying to sleep....lol, what time were you making noise?
