i launch my car at 4 grand. Sure the tires spin, but youre in the powerband range. IMO, i hav ran better times with rpm's up higher

 

tire spin on a properly prepped track with no traction mods would usually mean wheel hop.

 

i usually launch around 3-3.5k
works great

 

Launching around 3500-4000 only mod was a ca header, got a 2.3 60' on stock conti's (WORST tire i have ever had) ran a 15.9.

Went back a year later with lsj dp and cai on bald tires ran a 15.5. Gonna go back soonto see what the exhuast did.

 

to get a 2.3 u would have to have minimal tire spin and if u launched at close to 4k rpms then u musta really feathered ur clutch outa the hole, which is not to healthy for it.

As said, i optained a 2.2 60 foot on a bone stock 2.4 with only 2500 rpm launch. And my car only has 8 more ft/lbs of torque then a 2.2.

 

what was youre 1/4mile time and mph again though? i had a 2.3' 60 and went 15.03 at 92 mph

 

Screw the clutch!! i don't think i feathered the clutch that much, don't really remember. I know i had some spin last time but it wasn't all that much off the line. I felt the car would have gone about .2 faster if it would roast the hell out of the tires on the 1/2 shift. Thats where most of the spin was, shitty continentals. I am strongly considering getting a obx lsd and putting a hhr trans in the car, i think the 4.17 fd might wake it up a little, but with getting married in 2 months i'm kinda strapped right now.

 

15.66 @ 88 MPH. 100% humidy and over 90 degrees outside. My car never bogged, just not very good shiftpoints and too humid outside.

We had a full bolton and dyno tuned 2.2 G5 there that couldnt trap higher then 88 mph either

 

well got the LSJ DP on and wow. little bit more power and alot more throatier sounds. i love it. now tomorrow comes the CAI. lol
