ok i read and asked before about how high to rev and how to take off when racing. the responces were to bring it up to 2.5k and drop it. at first i thought it was pretty good, but then my friend told me that that way wasnt effecient and told me to bring the rpms up to around 4k rpms and ride the clutch. thats what i did and i rode the clutch, got more wheel spin but i shifted into 2nd gear much sooner than before with FULL wheel traction. conclusion>> higher trap speeds on the 1/4m right?

i tested these takes off continuously and if i brough the rpms higher and ride the clutch and got more wheel spin, i was always able to jump my friends integra more then bringing the rpms up to 2.5k.

is my mind playing tricks on me or is bringing the rpms higher and riding the clutch more effective? wouldnt it also give you higher trap speeds on the 1/4 since you are shifting into 2nd gear sooner with full wheel traction?

 

4000 rpm

 

Im wondering too..if i bring the RPM's To like 2000 I'll usually gain on the person I'm racing in 2nd gear but if i ride the clutch i stay with them but it doesnt feel as good
what shall i d o?

 

launch where ever you feel comfortable and have less wheel spin

 

Sprint, I sent you a PM.

Sorry DRU

 

very true i guess... every person has to handle their own car the best i can. i feel that 4000k is better for me as where Matty feels 2000k is better for him....

 

no prob

 

I just hate the loud slipping that the clutch makes if you ride it I dont know y

 

I know what you guys mean!! When I ride the clutch thru 1st gear, I feel like im on my way to 60MPH in like 6 seconds flat!!

 

I get my quickest lauches when I rev to about 2300, and then shift to second at 6200.

 

With my new Kumhos I can launch from about 4500 to 5000 RPM and have a great launch, just a little wheel spin, Oh Austin got the new O2 sensor car is running a little better
