Yeah, it was always one of those things on the "to-do" list but never got around to it. One thing that has kept me from jumping on it is the lack of a place to mount the button. I will not cut anything up in the car so that creates problems. I am thinking of a solution by making a small bracket that mounts in the console with a toggle switch and a couple push buttons. One to activate the two step, one for the line lock and maybe another button or two to purge the..... well, lets leave it at a line lock and two step for now. I am thinking of taking something like a rear console mount and modifying it so that it mounts to the bottom console bolts. All the wires can be hidden under the carpet and only a small hole will need to be drilled in the bottom of the console to feed the wires through.

Oh, absolutely! The ET radials have been on the car for the past year and are nearly slick. Only the outside grooves remain but the center grooves are all gone. I think the AFCO shocks will help adjust some of the hit out as needed but I have to get to a point where I can launch consistently first. Surprisingly the car did not spin too bad given my harsh driving technique although my 60' shows that it was not doing nearly what it should.
I don't think I was leaving harder than 2-3k RPM - but was difficult to say as I was riding the clutch to light the bulbs and then revving and dumping when the tree went green.
I think with the right launch (assuming the tires grab) I might see a bit more daylight under those tires!
