vixen Member 13 Member For: 20y 4m 11d Posted 09/03/05 12:53 AM Share Posted 09/03/05 12:53 AM Hi fellas,I have a SSS XR6T and just want to know your tips in getting the optimum take off from the lights. I usually just rev to around 2 grand with foot on brake and then just plant it with the transmission in Perf. Any tips?, haven't lost any so far...Vixen Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/16225-advice-on-best-launching-technique-in-sss/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to fit a trans cooler too.Dazza.
