All you need to do is put your foot down and aim straight lol.I'll have to give you a run but I'm sure you'll beat me with that power.Also might be an idea to put some wheels and tyres on the back with a bit more side wall than the ones in your dp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentt213 Donating Members 12 Member For: 14y 8m 5d Gender: Male Posted 18/01/12 09:00 AM Share Posted 18/01/12 09:00 AM I just ordered a pair of rear tyres, 17' 255 soft compound street radials on territory rims, so I'm hoping this eliminates the traction problem!! Should I still have the pressure at 25 psi Henz?@ rbjet, mate I'm just an ameture who drives like the car is stolen. You prob have a better chance than you think!! Im guessing manuel shifting is the way to go?? Lol like I said I'm an ameture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think performance mode gets the quickest times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty hard to hear whats going on in a helmet and even worse if your beside a v8.I'll most likely be there with some ETs on to see what I can run/break..

You'll either smash the limiter or sh*t to early if you do it manually. Performance mode is pretty well spot. Just do a decent skid, then stall it up on the line till just before the wheels start to spin and Bobs your uncle.03' XR6TURBO. 10PSI TUNE, RAPID V3.

Worm A much better forum Silver Donating Members 3,808 Member For: 16y 5m 4d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 18/01/12 11:44 AM Share Posted 18/01/12 11:44 AM If its tuned sometimes performance mode isn't best...You should know your car... And be able to feel when to shift... I know if I let mine go to 6000rpm, it's quicker if I shift at 5300-5500... 5500 to 6000 power is no longer increasing... It plateaues off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could feel it stop making power after 5700 so it was better to manual shift it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
