Well i been practice launching and i dont think im getting the full potential. i rev at 2 then slam the clutch and i get mad hop. then when i try to roll it i kinda bog half the time and the other half i spin my wheels and sometimes over rev. i want to start going to the track to do some racing but i dont want to look like a retard lol.. any tips?

 

motor mouts... and actually take the time to feel where you clutch engages.. try to keep your foot somewhere in that range...

 

pretend theres an egg under the gas pedal when you go to take off. Lauch from ~2k and ease off the clutch (not slow but dont dump it) as you slowly give it more gas.

 

leave like you leave a stoplight just faster

 

drive it like you stole it!!

 

and hop all the way to new axles.. hahahs

 

i was thinkin about getting the bwoody traction bars before do any power to stop the wheel hop. but what i am wondering is that going to put any more stress on my axles or any other part if i put them on?

 

you know i was joking!

 

I usually tach to about 2K then ride the clutch a little to get rolling some. Once I'm moving I let go of the clutch and floor it. If the track is prepped good it sticks well enough for 2.2 60's I've seen a few 2.1's too. Thats on the stock tires. Ordering some 235/40 KDW's Friday gonna see just how much they help out

 

1st in my SS/NA was pretty useless until I got the mounts.

No wheel hop.

At all. But slipping the clutch is the best way to do it. Gotta get that feel for it, feather it just right...just mashing the gas will cause all kinds of spin and if you do that into second you are going to slip the dogpiss outta your clutch.

 

my prob is once i get into second gear it bakes the tires but i dont have the g85

1st gear is limited to 9psi or whatnot on my car so its ok

 

Your right foot.

Don't put it down to the floor

 

get a tune! less boost in 1st will help.

 

I dont have g85 and both of my tires spin in second. Just gotta learn to drive it man, its finnicky. The limited slip is more so you dont spin your inside tire when accelerating through corners.

 

I have that problem as well sometimes. Again that seems to be track prep related. If its a good prep, I can nail second with a little chirp. If the prep sucks its smoke show...

 

do a search for wheel hop and launching you will get a **** ton of threads to go read.

 

psh less boost in first, just learn how to control it.

 

maybe 6psi or something in that ballpark. but all of the other advice will also help. a tune can't change EVERYTHING, ya know...

 

Honestly though, reading won't really help you that much. The only thing that can really help is lots of practice. Street launches are ok but launching at the track is way different, so I recommend a lot of track practice.

 

good advice, but its hard when your track is 2 plus hours away

 

Yeah that could definitely make finding practice time hard... Hmm perhaps put some VHT on the road?

 

thats great ha ha ha actually i got a gtech timer thing and it has helped a bit in cars for me in the past but i havnt had a chance to find an empty road with the new house and new car

 

stangkilr used to just slip the clutch and faired well. he cut some nice 60's too as i remember

i usually dont even rev the car up, or dump it. i just give a little rev and slip it a little and go. although the my clutch doesnt really know what slip means

 

motor mounts, slicks. Problem solved. lol.

 

I dont know about you guys but I'm stock right now. Granite I just started drivin stick a few months ago I went to the track last weekend and launched about 2100 with a shitty 60 ft time...so I'm thinkin maybe a little higher, but 2nd was no worries I hooked right up. Moroso dresses the track up pretty nice
