A rather frustrating night @ the drags...

[macka]

I think Im gonna try an 8psi run next time to see my difference in 60ft time.....I launch great with not much wheelspin so some of u guys with minimal mods and boost should be getting 2.1s

Maybe i need to work out the 2 stage boost systym to give it 15psi as soon as i hit 2nd gear as with 8psi i dont even get a chirp

GTSVSPEC......3800 launch?? are you crazy?

Your turbo full spools at 2800 or something like that,

Ive soon your wheelspin in first maybe u should lower the dump rpm

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yeah I've tried lower rpm, but when the twin plate bites it really bogs down. I've got to learn to slip the clutch, but it is a much finer line for getting it right with a twin. That's why I need the practice, I haven't found the sweet spot yet.

See'ya:burnout:

But surely if u let go at 3200 it wont bog down?

Or will it?

I've got a twin plate in mine, and someone told me that slipping it is VERY bad .... frys it very quickly

edit: my grammar

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Macka, I've been trying with different revs, anything below 3500 causes bog down from a clutch drop, anything over 3800 causes wheelspin launch.

I think 3800 is OK, but I tend to lay the power on too soon, I get excited, and so I start with some traction but them loose it in the blood rush.

Next drags bring some long pants and I'll let you have a drive, see if you can work out where to launch it from.

I don't really want to slip the clutch, with more power even twin plates can fry.

You crazy overexcited guy!!

Thanks..Hmmm sounds tempting but id hate for something to let go while i was driving!

And i prolly wouldnt get a better time altho its good to see how other lines are driving

I reckon i could of pulled a whole second off ADAM32s best of 14.5 tho.

I tried on that last meet i was there and only managed a 14.5 with first go and dropping it at 4500 i could of done alot better

Why cant i wear your long Pants?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Macka,

I'm not letting you into my pants, you dirty fat bastard. I'm not worried about you breaking anything, if it happens then I'll make it stronger, kind of like evolution.

I'm just worried that you'll crap you pants in excitement, "Wow a clutch that actual bites".

just cos im on the other side of the world!! you know where my car is... if you can show me a 13sec timeslip by the time i get home ill give you $50 and 2 crayfish

[bully]

I think the key is to change one thing what your doing at a time, if it doesnt work revert back and go down another track -- Strich9 i think we nned to organise a R.I.C.E. dyno day if i get a chanbe ill go have a chat to the TREVS at Kiwana Profomance as they just got a new one in there then we should be able to more understand gear change revs etc.
