Hey guys.

I went out to the track and have some questions.

I had 18" wheels on w/ 35 psi in the tires and I have JIC-FLT a1 suspension.

1st race: Launch at 3k RPM and suspension set on stiff - I bounced all over the place and my car popped out of gear? WTF

2nd race: Launch at 2k RPM and same problem, car pops out of gear.

3rd race: Suspension set of soft, launch 2k RPM and I spin all of 1st...

What am I doing wrong? What should I be dropping my clutch at? Next time I go im putting 16" on.

 

Best launch IMO, is to hold the RPMs at 1500-1700 and feather the clutch(DON'T drop the clutch) without losing grip. Anything above that RPM especially with a clutch drop will result in spinning wheels.

 

you got too much BLING BLING, and not enough VROOM VROOM

 

no need to drop the clutch.....I do same as 6spmax...feather out of the whole in first gear at or under 2000rpms

 

Lower your tire pressure 35 is way too high. I race cycles and tire pressure is usually in the low 20s.

 

ease out the clutch

dont floor it till you have traction

 

They're freakin street radials. Reducing pressure on them won't help much at all. You have to launch at about 1500 and feather the clutch.

 

from my experience lowering tire pressure did jack for me on my all seasons, actually hurt me I believe in two runs- the benefit lies only in slicks or DR's

 

I have the same problem.

My best time is 14.5sec (ALL STOCK) 6 speed @97-98mph.

My launch, 1100RPMS, bog off the line, and get a 60 foot of 2.5..

This was on my stock 17" on RE92's.

No matter what i did, the best times was at 1100RPMS!!

 

I launch at 2200 and feather the clutch. Falken Ziex 235/45/17 at 25psi. Best I ever got was a 2.230 60'
