Still easing my way into my new car, which was a former drag car and has been made a bit mroe streetable with a 373 rear gear, and some 255/60/R15's rear,235/60/R15's front.
454 bored 30 over, 12:1 compression...502hp and a 3500 stall converter (and all that other stuff too)....

I find that even trying to come close to flooring it in 1st results in spinning tires and a sideways drift.

I have also read to use the brakes and get the rpms up then drop off the brakes (purpose of the stall converter?)....haven't tried this yet though.....

Im thinking of taking it over to a local track that has open time and trying to get a feel for the best way to get up to speed quickly off the line....

Any advice for a newbie?...

Streets - I'll take a 1 wisecrack to 1 piece of advice ratio please, and yes: Now that it runs I want to wreck it :-)
