He reved it up, looked at me and laughed. I couldn't resist! Light went green and I stomped on it. My tires broke loose for a second then it hooked. I left that Dodge like it was sitting still. I was way ahead of him and let off to let him pass. He came by me wide open but wasn't laughing anymore.
I have a cam,headers,Dyna-flow exhaust, Phoenix 2800 stall converter and dyno tune (407 RWHP). Since doing all the work it will boil the tires off the line. The traction control seems to make no difference. I used to complain about throttle hesitation and now I have the opposite problem. Once it hooks up it's gone but I want to launch it off the line with more traction. Any suggestions other than slicks?

I'm surprised that the traction control makes no difference. On mine, when the tires break loose with WOT then the TC shuts down the engine for a split second, the tires catch and then it goes on. This happens with WOT between 1st and 2nd and again between 2nd and third. So, after Joe D. explained this to me, I now just turn off the traction control if I don't want it to bog down when shifting.
