ahh. the ole side to side shifter *lets make sure i'm in neutral 40 times*. lol

did that say.... 11.18?

 

Gotta keep my hands busy it was about 100 degrees and I could barely hold on to the shifter haha. Btw Where are your 11 second videos? Oh right you just have a fast car that doesn't move
Anyway no I wish 11.18 but 11.79 was the time

 

Leave it in third. Or make it so you can, you only have like 100 more foot lol

 

haha no i was just bringing it up cause i do the same thing. stu did it as well. it's just funny to see but so many of us do it. i don't have any videos cause i've been running on street tires lol. and haven't made a pass since september. this trans and street tires just can't hold power. running at 19psi is boring.

 

Yea, I would have but I was already running to 7300 and its all stock... I just bounced off the limiter on a later pass but lost 2 mph. But yea I need to

 

All I read was, I have a lot of excuses and I don't want to break my car

 

What size tire and what mph?

 

24.5 x 8.5 x 15
119 shifting 117 not

 

oh yeah.. ya got me..

 

Ok I was gonna say. I went 117.6 in third on that tire. What are you launching at. And what's that 2 step? Stock. Sounds anti-lagish lol

 

i leave around 5500, no boost nothing.,, do you leave with a wotbox?

 

Yes, 5500-6200, stock turbo was leaving around 5000. Building about 6 lbs off the line.

 

does it really help that you warm up the tires in second instead of first? By the way, why does your 2nd seem so long?

 

2nd gear burnouts result in a higher wheel speed = more heat = more traction. 1st gear just isn't enough. 85mph vs 45mph..

 

Holy hell... Glad I'm just now finding this out. I learn something new everyday on this forum.

 

 

that and dumping the clutch an trying to do a burnout in first you'll blow through the limiter and pop a few rockers and bust up some lifters.

 

subd

 

Ya I didn't know all dis nonsense. I was just dumping the clutch in first. It really never ended up in a good burnout, just a couple quick spins and then moved along. Next time I'm down at the strip, I'll for sure have slicks and have to do it in second instead.

the burnout at the start of my how-to. do that. lol.

 

Which one do you have?

 

I can no read big paragraphs and large structured sentences. I'd be staring at that your how to for days.

On a better note, I went to the track last Tuesday for the first time since the beginning of last November. No bueno. Tire spin, missing gears, and horrible launches. Wasn't even worth posting my slips other than my accomplishment of 13.25 @112 on a 2.5 60ft. Blah... Should've taken a peddle bike or a moped down the track.
