Did you buy an SRT-4?
They run there's out the front of the rear tire. Mines gonna go out the front bumper. But I get what your saying.
Probably save 30lbs in exhaust though.

The pro-tree is pretty gay with an auto though, I hope you are able to get up on that stall lightning quick!
I actually liked the pro tree for auto. I just let the other car go in first, light the first set of bulbs, build boost, then bump the car into the second beem and be ready to go. it also kinda messes with the other driver since they have to sit there and wait for you to fully stage.
This car is going to be a beast

Interesting.
The motor doesn't pull through the brakes after you built boost? Or are you pulling a ton of timing to be able to do this?

Question wasn't directed at me but this was my 16g auto experience.
Usually all you need is a good set of pads and the e brake to hold the car on a stock size turbo.

Carl's on an EF2, though. I figured that would be enough to overpower the brakes.
My 6266 pushes through Wilwoods at 9psi, curious what it would take for my car. I probably only make what he makes down low.

I don't think there's an ef2 on the market for Dsms yet. Think he's still on an ef1. Not that it matters ef1 to ef2 still bigger thank a 16G.
On my old white auto I could build 18 psi before the brakes even started to make a noise like they wanted to move.

Hey another guy with an auto chimed in!!
Mine would push thru about 20psi, but I'd rather think about it in terms of TQ. That would be about 37x+ wheel TQ the brakes would get tough to push.
Get it running and we will get it figured out. Vacuum pump will make it easier.

So this fat ass auto has now officially gone on a diet.
Things I did when I swapped the interior over to black
-sound detening
-removed some random stuff from behind the dash
Maybe 30-35lbs
Things I just picked up
-Corbeau seats (super light)
-aftermarket wheel (no airbag)
-pulled passenger airbag
-replacing glass in sunroof with carbon fiber
Those 4 items should be around 120-130lbs in weight saved
16x7 kosei k1 weigh 15.5 so that's a 6+lb savings over stock
20lb total rotating weight.
Not sure what stock starting weight (3400?) is but if I can get it closer to 3200 with me in it I'd be happy.
Ill add pics tomorrow

I was 3170lbs on the scale at bir 2 years ago. I'm sure you are around 3k or under
