Am I the only one that thinks that the 9lbs flywheel is the issue? I thought it was common knowledge that launching an AWD car with a 9lbs flywheel was darn difficult. That wheel was designed to benefit time attack, not the strip.

Elelctronic launch control might help...

Take off the heavy rotas and put stock wheels back on.

steve, not sure if the flywheel is causeing the issue....Im gonna see how the engine mount and tranny mount help first.

I honestly believe the harsh sway in the drivetrain is hurting my time. it almost feels like i hit a wall coming out of first. But next time i go to the track ill have a different turbo on, also meth.

Bog is due to the Flywheel. It'll take some getting used to. Once you do though....

On a side note, I tried calling you back yesterday. I also have some STi motor mounts if youre interested?

Weigh them, what is the tire size compared to your stock wheels?

Looks like the stock wheels weight about a one lb. more without tires, but those 245 have a bigger diameter and with tires probably weigh a lot more than stock. Put them on a scale to find out, it does make a difference.
