Ok, here is the video. Sorry about the wind it was really blowing. I guess this is a good time to ask... you can't tell in the video but when I launch both my tires spin together, they always leave matching skid marks. I think that the rearend is stock. On my sc400 if I break launch it will churp both tires but then only one spins and I don't see why it would be any different unless my rearend was an LSD (wishfull thinking) and if it is not a LSD then would I need to upgrade if I already put power to both wheel.

Yes, stock exhaust. Cabin noise under normal driving is about the same.

I'll bet that it added about 50 pounds of torque but like I thought any gear other than first gear the clutch just does not stand a chance. I think I will go a head and change the clutch. I'm thinking about the centerforce clutch II so any feedback on this clutch or recommendation is welcome.

xspsi6 did you do anything to your fuel system to run the 150 shot and did you check your plugs to see how it was doing. I would think that a stock 2jz-ge could take a wet 150 shot based on the fact that you can boost for alot more than that.

If you're getting a Centerforce get the Dual Friction, hands down. It's still full face so it engages fairly smoothly (pedal feel isn't much stiffer than stock) yet it can hold 500+.

walbro 255 and a aeromotive afpr is all for fuel mods but the afpr is not on yet. I just backed the timing off 3-4 deg. I raced my friends na-t supra and spanked him bad and he was on 14 psi. I love nitrous. Let me know how it turns out.

If you adjust the timing a few deg does it keep it retarded after you disconnect the jump wire?

Thanks
