not to good at take off from a dead stop in a race...a god danm stock charger beat me off the line and im a littlepissed (even though i caught him and still won)

any advice from the more experienced

i got street tires and amnot getting drag radials anytime soon

also i just got a zoom racing clucth but shifter is stock and no money for a new one lol

 

get your rpms, up to ~3,000, and feather the clutch until you into the race, then hammer it.

 

+1, if you drop the clutch you'll just spin.

Man i'm such a postwhore today, trying to hit 1000 posts! I have been a member for 4 years it's about time.

 

i usually launch at 3000 street....3600 strip... just easing out of the clutch...

 

really....just 3000 rpm

maybe thats my problem

i just get it to 5500 and then take my foot of the clucth

 

lol i've only been here 1 year and im over 2200.

another thing if your on the street lower the launch rpm's due to the grease that build up on the road, so launch at about 2500-2800 rpms, 200-300rpm makes a huge diffrence

 

You can make up a semi-****ty launch with some good shifting. Remember, if you're lifting that right foot at all once you're moving, you're slowing the car down.

 

LMAO, yeah man just go from 2500-3000, and ease off, this will keep you from leaving in a cloud of smoke.

 

you know...i have NEVER once gotten my tires to leave ANY smoke

i dont know why either

ive done some pretty nasty burnouts, lots of rubber on the road but no smoke lol

so will lowering my rpm from 5500 to 2500-3000 make a pretty big difference???

 

it'll make worlds of diffrence, and if its cold go even lower, ill try to post some launching video's or make some today/ this week.
