    By the time the 2 step is hooked up, and the line lock installed, tire technology will have evolved that we are all on titanium carbon fiber slicks that work in the rain

    There are a bunch of us Mopar guys who launch just above idle. Just enough to load the drivetrain. We drive our 4,500# beasts to the track with AC, stereo etc. Maybe 10 minutes of prep then run as fast as 9.5s as many times as we are allowed and then drive home. Works well for us.

    who knew Troy was a Mopar guy?

    this is a long running joke among some of us, particularly those of us like to row our own. Do what works for you and have fun, that’s what it’s all about.

    I want to be in charge of the 2 step setup. As anything below 6500rpm is boring

    While I fully support this, actually using the 2 step will take 2-3 years to warm up to after the 3-4 years it’s take to install the 2 step. There is a defined process to this.

    Let me know when you have the address, I’ll send over a bag of lightweight air with Cheetos for packing material
