My plan is to make some runs starting with 1/4 track, then 1/2 track, etc. until I feel comfortable with a full run on local 1/8 mi. track. Then go to Bradenton 1/4 mi.
Not knowing this car I'm concerned about the 4.56 gears on 1/4 mi. track.

Any thoughts? Suggestions? Comments?

I've got plenty of depends

By the way, I got this truck for only $10,000
I'm in much the same situation as you. I'm building a blown "Z". I drive a bone stock 1/2 ton extended cab now. So, the depends have been suggested to me by several people. I think you've got the right idea. take it slow. It was suggested to me to run the blower on low boost almost normally aspirated until I get the hang of it. I suppose a 2''x4'' under the go peddle would have a similar effect. If you happen to run faster than 10 sec. you'll only get one shot at it until you get the required safety equipment and certification, license, etc. What's been done to the rest of the chassis as far as safety stuff?

As far as how / when to launch, I think will depend on how you and the vehicle react together. It will just take trial and error and practice, practice, practice.
