2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

          Make sure your camber is set right... No extreme negative chamber bs.
          I guess another would be to deflate your tires a bit for more grip. And fold your side mirrors in

            I'ts probably a given, but pulling your spare tire and your passenger seat before you make your run would help. also, your supension will make a big difference, make sure its all atleast up to oem standards (struts and springs not saggin and old would be a good start).

              Easiest way as mentioned weight reduction. Also mentioned proper suspension setup will help too. You do not want the rear to squat to much for fwd setups. Another thing to keep in mine is tires. Tire size also will help too.

                    If your car is lowered and you haven't done anything about camber as stated above this will make a huge difference. Even if you swear your camber is fine, having it off will put less rubber on the ground and less traction. Since it is an auto, you should be pretty consistant in your times anyways and room for improvement driving wise is limited.

                      launching an auto is cake man . Just brake it and gas it till you feel the car pulling itself that is the point where you have the most BRAKE HP .

                        why do u wanna drag an auto? i've got one, done it and its seriously not much fun. But if you wanna improve, keep it in D3 so it doesn't shift into 4th and lose on the top end. I mean i do like 17.1 with pretty much all the bolt-ons and trap at 80, so it's not like im red-lining in 3rd so its safe. But if you've never done it, do it once and then just be set. Because when i went out my first night, i trapped consistently between 17.1-17.3 and it got really lame after doing it sooo many times and not progressing.
