Whats up guys. I only have 1 more track day till the season is up and i really wanna hit a low 11 or even high ten. I cant seem to break 12's and i know my car has 10's power in it im just a ****ty driver and could use aome drag/launch advice. My 60' is a 2.0 flat (****TY I KNOW LOL) any decent draggers i need help

 

Check out the drag section, better responses there. MPH will tell a lot more than your 60 in terms of what the car is capable of.

 

Oh wth i looked for a drag section. Hmm

 

Found it thanks

 

Have you gotten it dynoed? You can look at the power band in detail and switch gears on the sweet spot. You dont want to dig too high on RPMs when you are not Peaking up there. In AWD cars the launch determines everything. Try practicing your launches. When you race race by yourself. Don't go on the green take your time, time starts ticking when you leave the line and not in green.

 

Yes it dynoed at little over 600. And my peak is at 6200 or so. My biggest issue is how big my turbo is its hard to keep it boosted

 

Do you have a 2 step tune? If not at what rpm are you launching? On my 2 step launch its at 6,500 RPM and boosting 6 pounds with no strain.

 

Mine is set at 5700 and builds like 5 but again my 60' is 2 seconds lol

 

Well what size turbo you running?? If it's decent size 5700 and 5 psi is too low, explains your delayed reaction and poor 60 ft personally I'd have your tuner set you at 6k rpms and build at least 10 psi off the line... That combined with learning to preload your drivetrain, should help with your launch n 60 ft times which will help your trap speed and time at the end. Good luck

 

That is part of the problem. Turn your 2-step up. I run mine at about 6200rpm. I have a HTA 3582 on the stock block. There was a thread on how to run 11's with minimal mods that recommended to have it at 6500rpm on the stock turbo.

I can't remember if mostwanted made the thread or not. That guy can drive though.

What are you shifting at? Have you tried the NLTS to keep the turbo spooled between gears?

 

Good advice right there. I also noticed you launch at 6500rpm as well.

 

But i am also doing 13's with 400WHP. I cant even take my own advice . Problem is since i have a stock tranny i dont know how fast or slow i need to feather out while launching.

 

you're still doing 13's on 400whp? thats a little strange lol

 

It needs to less than a sec or so. I sort of stutter step it out. I let off quickly and feel the clutch engage, watch my rpm drop to about 5000, then stop momentarily before fully releasing to make it slip/grab again as I let the clutch out all the way. Every thing happens very fast. So its hard to explain.

 

Ok im running a 40r. Also i have built 2.4 so setting the 2 step at 6500 thats like my redline lol
