What tires are you running? I am having enough trouble getting traction with my setup and you are pushing far more than my 2.0 liter turbo would ever generate on pump gas.

The car is fully backhalfed with a Ford 8.8 4 link setup. Wheel tire combo is 15x10 Prostars with 325/50R15 MT ET Street Radials. At street tire pressure it still burned the tires off in first and second with 700hp.. I need to air them down and get them hot to get it to launch in first. It should cut 1.3x 60' once I tweak a few things. When I was making 600whp @10psi with my old setup it hooked hard in 2nd.

I originally went with Brian Tooley Racing max pressure springs but when I went to install them on my ETP heads they didn't fit. ETP/MAST heads are aftermarket castings with a .750" deck height compared to a stock head's 3/8" for high clamping load. This really helps prevent lifting the heads and pushing water when running 20+ PSI of boost. Because of the taller deck, the valve pockets must be machined deeper into the head, therefore not working with my heads. After speaking to Brian Tooley and Fraser at AES, they recommended I go with K motion springs from summit... and they only cost $100 shipped but WILL NOT work with stock casting heads. After the swap though, I felt like I gained 200hp lol.
