yeah, that works on the street cuz your tires have time to brake just a little loose. But on the stage, there is hella melted rubber on the start, so it is suuuuuuuuuuper grippy. B4 my flywheel, if you try to ride your clutch like on the street, it will slip and roast.

Plus, I have a lightened flywheel which requires a higher rpm launch than stock the flywheel.

plus the FMIC, and t-lag sux!

Did you lower your PSI?
Yeah, but with my 2.0 block and flywheel, i found that the 4k launches no longer work for me.

I didnt lower psi b/c i wasnt having traction problems. Was having "toooo much traction" problems. lol!

Your ET is all in your 60ft, for every .10 you shave off your 60ft, it's 2 tenths off your ET

Maybe a TNT @ Sac Raceway in the near future?
yeah i never really liked Sears Point track. i would always have a better time at Sac Raceway? not sure why, but it's always on the left lane for that does it in Sears Point. it has a slight incline and it always messes me up
