antonioxr Member 29 Member For: 15y 6m 20d Posted 10/03/10 12:31 PM Share Posted 10/03/10 12:31 PM hey guys ive run my BF ute down the quater with its normal 17 street tyres and run pretty consistant 12.7 at 115mile was in summer in the day and very hot I was getting decent launches but wheel spinning in 1 -2 and grabbing traction in third! I now put the 16" MT's on and my launch is pathetic cant rev the auto past 2-3 thousand rpm with foot on the brake then when I let it go it just drops the revs and crawls off the line ne help or pointers guys thanks. ill have my foot flat 2 the floor with the brake on and the revs wont go up and wheels dont want 2 turn how do I get on boost from a stand still with foot on the break??? and its the ZF auto and yes traction controll is turned off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antonioxr Member 29 Member For: 15y 6m 20d Posted 11/03/10 08:25 AM Author Share Posted 11/03/10 08:25 AM thanks 4 the input guys yeh I just found out 2 day about stalling it in 2nd should make my 60ft a hell of a lot better! I was speaking 2 my tuner 2 day its going in next week for 500+hp and said he wont take off the gearbox protection till I get a built tailshaft cause it will twist it which is fair enough! wat are ppl paying 4 tailshafts these days??
