[QUOTE="sneaky98gt, post: 843217, member: 11327"] Yea, the lean spike is another worry I have with a wet shot as well. My car is an automatic on the stock 3.27 rear gears. I launch at around 1800-2000 rpm, depending on the temperature outside. I'm running drag radials, and traction is not currently a problem at all. With the stock stall and rear gears, I can only leave but so hard; the back tires start breaking loose around 2000 rpm typically, and so that's all I can launch at. Even with the roots style blower, I'm just not making enough power that low in the rpm range to effectively get the car moving. Low 1.8 60's are about as good as I can get, which are power limited, not traction limited. My plan is to have the spray come in (via window switch) just after I leave the line. About 2500 rpm would be more ideal than 3000 in that it allows that amount extra time with the spray to lower my 60'. Launching like that would allow the car to just get moving and a good load on the rear tires before the hit came in, which would hopefully allow the tires to keep traction. If not, I'd up the start window by a hundred rpm until it would hook. Yes, the prices are a good bit different. A wet kit is around $200 more than a dry kit. If I do this, I'm planning on buying the HSW kit and controller. I've heard nothing but good things about that company and their products. [/QUOTE]
