New PB in my new car

At Byron Dragway in Byron, IL. I only got into two runs cuz it started to rain. This was with full interior, hacked air box, y pipe, 5th gen clutch, and a muffler. First time with a 5spd Max to the track, so bear with me

1st:
R/T .041
60' 2.516
330 6.620
1/8 9.961
MPH 73.94
1000 12.845
1/4 15.263
MPH 92.70

2nd:
60 2.325
330 6.382
1/8 9.728
MPH 72.95
1000 12.617
1/4 15.042
MPH 92.68

the first run was horrible, due to wheel hop, thought my car was gonna break, second run was also bad. Launched my first run at 1800, second run at 2600. Both just hopped around the track. Instead of barking second, both runs i just hopped second. That track was TOO sticky, or I just dunno what Im doing. I'll get it down though, believe you me.

Er, get JClaws' traction bars (Jbars), and your wheel hop should go away... They sure worked for me. No hop, no torque steer.
