Seems the kinetic energy releases and lets me finish with a win the past two off the line races.

I am proud of the win vs the GT considering it is a V8, he pulled away pretty good at the start due to torque, but I ended up moving ahead 2 lengths
It's actually torque, our engines generate most of thier torque in the upper rpm range... I'm debating a 2500 stall for the tranny to compensate... but not sure I want to screw with my warranty like that. I'm looking to try the Jett chip to see if I can get a little more low end torque..
