Is it possible to have "too much traction"? You probably want just a little wheel spin off the line to get you up to speeds quicker maybe and with DR's on our cars, that might not be easy, not without a pair of snails at least.

No such thing as "too much traction", just "not enough motor".

Good times regardless!

Going to the track with the new motordyne intake manifold.
Time will tell if it works.
It should give me a better 60 ft and 1/8 times.

2 weeks ago !!!!!! Hope fully buy Oct 22. Then i need to get it installed .
And i hope that the tracks will still be open. Traction will be a major issue as the temps get colder. The track will only be parsally prepped,
