I know they are heavy cars and take awhile to kick in. but im sure alot of use would launch alot better then me.I usally stall up to around 1800-2200MAX anything over 2200 the car feels like it copping alot of stress and its gonna break lol.well anyway at 1800-2200RPM and I look at the boost gauge it doesnt even move to 1PSI so its got me thinking what the hell am I doing wrong as its like im stalling up but whats the point its not even on boost.well hope some people can help me out with my little problem.CheersRob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's just not enough boost at that RPM.If you want to launch it harder you'll have to get a bigger converter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see the resulting times.If you stall up to slow, or hold it to long does the transmission do something like limit revs so you limp off?Felix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do your wheels spin anywhere between 1800-2200 rpm?? Mine starts to spin anywhere above 2000 rpm... Your tyres are probably better than mine (I have cheapies on) but you also have alot more power than me... By what you describe im asuming they dont.. I dont think I've ever looked at my boost guage when stalling up so I dunno if im leaving on boost... Then again I dont race much..Adam said its the tune... but wasnt the wog known for aggressive tunes??So basically I dont have a clue hehehe.... I'm sure someone will..Cheers Mike..
