Don't know if it's the stall but if it's too loose that's what happens. Might need to log a run and see what's happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traction Control off.2. Burnout in D, get some decent heat into the MT's.3. Select 1st, stage and stall to 5psi and then let her rip.You can increase boost off the line as you go and the track will only get better as more rubber is layed.

Glouva1 Donating Members 654 Member For: 13y 7m 1d Gender: Male Location: Surrey Hills, Melbourne Posted 23/04/12 09:39 AM Share Posted 23/04/12 09:39 AM Best way to warm up ET radials is to obviously turn tc off and put it in 1st. Left foot on brake and hit the throttle hard. It will spin straight away. Red line then straight into 2nd. Red line then straight ino 3rd then release foot off brake so you get out of the water. Stage. Then stall up to about 2000rpm slowly to avoid tyres spinning. I can't go more than this without a stall otherwise it creeps fwd. When your ready release break and gun it. I've tried all methods and I have found manual changes is the quickest. Best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just go on the water and punch it. Reverse far enough behind the line and give a small launch then stage.Remember, bigger burnout more heat in the engine bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
