Low-HP Short Time?

[Rob Lloyd]

Ok, thanks guys. So far it seems like my mid 1.7's are pretty good for a FWD ~180hp car.

I had a few ideas to try and improve that (IE, better struts/shocks, but they're spendy). But, it seems like I probably won't see much improvement there.

Two words. Boost Control . The Mitsubishi spools up quick enough to spin the tires
The M&H's work better but still about 30' out in good air I would spin. If I could have had better boost control I could have gone quicker.
I could hook at the line so I don't think suspension (other than super long wheelie bars) will work.

Boost control is OK right now. I usually get a little rotation off the line, but not too bad.

I was also considering wheeling bars - or more correctly, for a FWD car, wheelbase extenders.
