  • 18" NT555Rs
  • 525 RWHP @ 5 pounds

My best so far on LTs, CAI, DRs, and no tune was 12.3 at maybe 400 RWHP.

So what do you think I can run? My biggest struggle is launching. My best was inconsistent high 1.8 60s. I was thinking 11.5-7 with a perfect run for me. My biggest worry is getting thrown out with no roll bar at Atco. I also plan to try Cecil this weekend.

Any turbo 1/4 advice? I was thinking short shifting first a little as going strong into 2nd on boost could be skittish with my tires.

Any general advice on how to handle the roll bar issue now that my car is capable?
Sounds like a reasonable guess. You will have to play with it. I suggest you lower the rear tire pressure to around 21-22 psi to begin with and keep lowering it until you get it to launch with just a little spin. You can even try launching in 2nd, just build plenty of boost at the line.
