Default my 13.5 came with about a 3500-4K launch with more throttle as I was letting the clutch out,.

No sidestep, just a gentle pull..

Default 3600-4000rpm quick slip before dropping and flooring it......WIll give you consistant 1.8

60fts and no clutch smell afterwards. I ran a 13.4 with just chip only and ran my best 60ft on one of my 13.4 runs at 1.812. Not bad for being on 19s and chip only. A 13.3 is possible with chip only, pump gas and good driving.......man, I miss the days when my car was running like that.


The performance saga continues........

Default The R's Da Man! I concur with his recommendations. Anyone wearin' 19s & posting 1.8 second...

...60' times gotta be THE MAN!!!

Now imagine you drop down to some 17lbs. Volk Racing or some 16lbs. SSR comps...with some 104 gas, you'll be in the 12s baby, 12s!

But, you knew that. =)
