First of all, when you dont have a VR6, its already cheaper to buy the
Neuspeed charger kit, not that im a fan of it. For the money, its output
is a bit limited. The thing is, the kit is SOMETHING when there are so
many options not available for power boosts. Especially on the crossflow
motors AND I think its also Smog legal in 48 states.

Knowing how to drive a car fast, even on a drag strip, isnt easy. Launch
rev's, clutch dump or slip, timming the tree, shift points, tire
pressures, suspension settings, ect. It all adds up in the end. id say
your biggest problem is you are probably spinning the tire (yes, probably
just one, right?) off the line. Even if you are getting both tires to get
power, you might be spinning them on the start which, at the other end of
the track makes alot of difference.
