Track Experience Needed...
I wanted to ask you 6th gens with auto trannies. I have the 5 spd manumatic. For those of you who have taken your car to the track. Did you get faster times using the manumatic or just leaving it in drive?
Also for 30mph rolls, is it a better take off on Drive or 2nd?
I got a few mods so i wanted to put some numbers down. Mods in my sig.

For the max, on the line press down on the brake and gas at the same time and bring your engine RPM up to 2000, on green floor it and let the Max do the rest. If you have 5AT with triptronic, leave it in triptronic but don't shift it, the car will do it automatically and do it faster than in drive!!!
Some other things to consider on the track:
- Take everything out of your ride, spare tire, jack also.
- Try to have 1/2 tank of gas or less
- If using street tires, go around the water that is normally put down for drag radials to heat the tires. With street tires there is no need to heat them up and if wet, they will just spin at launch so you waste time getting down the track...
-Remove all engine covers to help heat dissipate faster, in between runs open your hood to help the engine cool down faster
Remember, weight and heat in our car is our enemy!!!
Most important, have fun and keep it on the tracki...

I have the same mods as you.. you should run a low-mid 14... 14.5-14.3
When and if u get a IMSK from and a Kinetix manifold you should expect a 14.1-13.9 ................track/tires/driving all depend on that those times

I've done well over 200 logged launches and my fastest and most consistant times were done in D without brake torquing. It also shifts at the same rate no matter what mode it's in, unless you know something Nissan techs don't know.

My times at the track are quicker in manual mode by 2tenths of a second with and without spraying it may be due to the TS ECU (7100RPM) upgrade I shift a 6400-6500. The stock program (6600RPM) shifts around 6200.

I have to disagree, it does not shift faster in Tiptronic.
I've done well over 200 logged launches and my fastest and most consistant times were done in D without brake torquing. It also shifts at the same rate no matter what mode it's in, unless you know something Nissan techs don't know.

SO no brake torquing? Just slowly mash the peddle at the beggining?

guess I'll try this out..does it matter that I have cvt? so I'm guessing it will go 6k and then shift..I always wondered about this CVT I have..when driving in tiptronic when is the best time to shift through each gear...Sometimes i go 6k on each, and then just randomly..it all feels the same to me..sorry for the hijack.

My best runs were all made modulating the gas. Brake torquing didn't give me better results in the least. Results may vary though, everybody has their own technique. I suggest messing around until you find what works best for you.

correct. You just have to learn exactly when to let it go or the engine will just cut off at the time it reaches the limiter

Agreed. Tested this out a couple of times at the track. 1/4mi times faster leaving the car in drive. No ECU flash here though, so if you are flashed I'd have to defer to Kevin007's experience
I've gotten faster times brake torquing but I agree on the consistency when you don't brake torque. Times were all very close, when I just stepped on the gas. If I try bracket racing this spring, I will not be brake torquing.
