Default leaving for Milan...

in about 2 hours... I was thinking of brake torqeing as I've never tried it before but don't know what I should rev it to before I take off (while not creeping)
any suggestions?
I have an 04 GT (auto)
245RWHP/280TQ
and I have Nitto 555R's that could pass for slicks they are so worn down... (don't know if that helps or hinders)

but going by this info what should I brake torque it at? or would I be better off stomping it like I was?

let you guys know what I run tonight! wish me luck!

You seem to do very well just the way you've been racing. Anything different on the car since the last time you went? And what is your fastest time in the 1/4? Sorry, I cant remember all this sh*t.

this is my last run with a whole bunch of slipping due to track conditions... my friend told me that with my 60ft I should be into 13.6 if I can hook.... nothing has changed with the mods

do a GOOD burnout and get them sticky, i hit a 13.6 with streets and you have the same setup as me but you have shorties correct? so with the nittos i think you could hit a 13.5 if you can cut a good 60ft

With the heat as hot as it is, I would suspect your running .3-.5 slower than normal. Dont be sad, its the heat not you, well your 60' time needs improvement, but atleast you know you have a mid 13 second car. Get some MT ET Streets.
