if I had a nickel for every time I've answered that question, lol. Stock rear aside from the gears. Holding up perfect. The steeper the gear is much less stress on the axles and rolling the clutch makes it that much easier. NO DUMPING.
Another nickle, lol. Nope, and nope. You're very welcome for the read. I'm serious man, roll that clutch to keep the rpm up. Mad a$$ short times when you perfect it. No bogging = no screaming profanities around the 60' mark. A track buddy has a P1SC Mach running 10.8s and he leaves the line good so you won't have to worry about spinning. The issue will be too much traction (yes, there is such a thing) if you go low on the psi and/or let the clutch out too quick. Keep me posted man I'll be pulling for ya.
P.S......pump those front tires up too, ;o)

I've never gotten in to 2 steps, linelocks, or anything really. I like the old fashioned way. Not much practice needed really, just go by sound and/or how far down your foot is. You don't have to be at exactly the same rpm everytime.....I know I'm not, lol. Get to where you're comfortable with going by sound so you can focus on the clutch work and also remember to lift your clutch foot off the floor a bit after you stage. Let it rip, man. While I'm thinking about it......shiftpoints are a little lower w/ 4.10s. After a buttload of trial and error (just like the launching) shifting at 6.5, 6.3, 6.0 really has worked for me if you wanna give that a whirl. $hit I wish today was friday you got me all tracked up.
