Roadrunna Member 5 Member For: 12y 9m 9d Posted 31/07/12 07:53 AM Share Posted 31/07/12 07:53 AM I've just come back from the drags and I found that I was getting to much lag from my turbo ute, just want to know should I change my standard diff ratio to something different and will that help cause my 60ft time was like 2.9secs.

Try different launch rpm.What model/trans/tyres have you got.

Roadrunna Member 5 Member For: 12y 9m 9d Posted 31/07/12 10:03 PM Author Share Posted 31/07/12 10:03 PM It sounds like I didn't do things right for the first time, I tried stalling but I was more focused on the tree and now it sounds like the tyre pressure was to high, I'll try again next meet and do it properly this time Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/81206-diff-gear-ratio/#findComment-1273342 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Focus on stalling it up and then leaving the line on boost this will better your 60ft time.

It's not the case. The time doesn't start until the car rolls over the "start line".
