I doubt that...
...I may only have a smidge over 400 lb-ft with my K04 setup, but based on my experiences at a VHT-laden dragstrip (and on the street), breaking traction and getting wheelspin is still sometime away for me (at least with a "grippy" 235 width maximum performance tire like a Michelin Pilot Sport).

A couple of notes.....
1) on the last run, the rear tow hook scraped the ground on the 1-2 shift. Looks like stiffer springs would speed things up a bit
2) Traction was an issue. The temp was 34F at 9:30.
3) Apparently there were some drivetrain issues. It was tough to hit 3rd and 2nd apparently wasn't what it's supposed to be. Also, the rear diff hits the heatsheild on hard launches.

The rear tow hook scraped the ground!?!?!?! How-T-F does that happen?
The car would have to be tilting back at like a 20 degree angle for that to happen!!! Either that or the car's ground clearance is down to about 3 inches...

I have video of the 12.77@113 if someone wants to host it. You can see a bad shift...
in this run, going into 2nd - so if that was smoother, there'd be some gains there.
