[icer]

from other thread:

1 run 1.7x 60' broke traction 1st, 2nd & 3rd 134mph

[typhoon_freak]

zf yes? how do u launch urs? iv been told way to many things (like stall in 2nd, then when green, slam it back to first) did u use manual mode or auto?

[darios typhoon]

launching the car manual mode put it in first gear as lights are going down push throttle down about half the rear will squart watch boost about 5 psi it will be green pretty quick then push right down on throttle then take your left foot off the brake as you are putting your foot down

yes I uesd manual mode all the way.

Well done Dario, being very first run in the new trim.

Of the 10 second group on this forum 50% are below 10.8, and 50% above it, so 10.7 is well placed as a start.

That track doesn't sound like it's improved at all in the past 2 years, and there's nothing more frustrating than getting wheelspin in more than 1 gear, especially when you have good tyres.

You need more than 1 run to get a feel for the difference it makes changing tyre pressures.

No doubt you'll go a lot quicker yet.

Can you please post the full breakdown of the run from the timeslip thanks.

thanks brain it will be better next time for shore but wheel spin was a big problem I didnt think it would run a 10 with that much wheel spin so I didnt get of that much at the top. one run isnt enough pressure was at 12psi

I was dropping it to 10 psi on next run but no chance, 60 foot was 1.701 1/2 track was 105..97mph 7.0 sec and 1000ft 9.07 sec and the 1/4 10.76 @134.44 .
