Also, where are you shifting? I find shifting at around 5000rpm is good to get the MPH up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say traction would be your biggest issue, judging by your 60ft time. Beg borrow or steal some semi-slick tyres and you would drop 0.5 seconds.To give you an idea, I ran 12.7 with just a custom tune (267rwkw). Added exhaust (300rwkw) and ran 12.2, but they were done on MT streets. Edited 22/10/08 09:24 PM by Doogstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guests Posted 23/10/08 02:15 AM Share Posted 23/10/08 02:15 AM 'sGet a decent cooler as these FPV one's aren't the best for strip work, as well as some MT's & you should break into the high 11's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This allows you to stall up some boost before launching.It will take practice to get this right.Gear changes will depend on your tune, ideally changing just before power starts to tail off, keeping the car in the meat of the torque curve.What tyre pressures were you running ?? sounds like you dropped the pressures as your 60' isn't rubbish considering the tyres.
