Default Disappointed 14.100 Quarter BA XR8

Hi Guys,

Very disappointed last night to run only a 14.100 at best last night. I just could not get traction off the line. I guess running 20's werent the best idea! Anyway, what do you guys think of the following modifications to allow for a better time? (I want to try again next Wednesday and dont think I can put in more in a week).

SS Induction Kit (currently have a pod, nothing else)
3.7 diff
16" wheels

Would these 3 simple mods help? I'm not gonna hunt for more HP till I figure out how to launch what I have. I have a 250hp NOS kit, but its all useless till I get off the line better. 2.4 60' is hopeless.

This was the first time with the car. I've always run the bike, which is good for a 10.8, but I want to get this car up and going.

Also, launching it at 3400 rpm. Do you think it too high? (I'm a little clueless here, so please be gentle. I've only circuit raced before)

Any suggestions? Or should I just bite the bullet and strap on a Kenne Bell?

Thanks guys.

kypez.
