1/4 gods chime in...

going tmrw to the 1/4 for the first time with this car.

09ss/tc with 3''hahn exhaust and superchips tune.

what should i run if my driver mod is up to date with the newest software.

also will it be better if i turn esc off (holding traction control button few secs till esc comes off)

currently have 34psi on tires? recommend any psi range?

last but not least. would this be best rpm to launch 2500 - 2900?

thanks for your time.

28psi in tires
launch between 2000-2500 (you'll have to find what is right for you and your track)
I would just turn traction off and dont NLS 1st to 2nd, just 2nd to 3rd and so forth
Good luck!!

make sure u get the tirs nice and sticky! my first time down i just ran with no launch just to get the feel of the traction on the track and i got 15.1 :/ :/ (im in an 05 s/c i know its still sucky). then next time i tried a "lauch" for the first time ever then i got 14.5 then 14.3. so its all in the starting line

i personally drop my tire pressure to 27 psi and launch from 3 grand. i do not spin. i only chirp then hook right up. but that is my track and it has taken me almost all season to learn this. still trying to work on FEATHERing the clutch. that is the most important part. dont dump it. with all this my best time is 14.2 but this is my first year racing. just my .02

I run 28 psi, launch at 3500-3800 rpm, depending on track conditions, NLS only 2-3. Its net me good times thus far. My tire pressures vary, depending on temp. On warmer days, I might run up to 30, and have run as low as 24, but 26-28 is the most consistently decent.

Just practice. Don't expect 13.9 your first time out. Your car should be there. I would imagine you could see a 13.7 with the right conditions and some good driving.
