best way to lauch the auto fg xr6 turbo

[mike0819]

hi have an fg xr6 turbo 320rkw zf 6 speed auto, because I don't have a vbox can not time it, what is the best way to lauch the zf 6 speed? traction on or off? and hold rev to 1500rpm or more? when I let go, do I floor it all the way or just wait till the tyres grip first? cause I try to just stomp on the gas all the way couple of time, the tyre just spin side ways without go straight, I do run 275 at the rear, but still loose traction. any advice?

Who tuned it?

Just stall it up a little Put it in performance mode and forget or manual shift it at around 5.5ish because small turbo

Left foot hard on brake, pull handbrake on, push throttle until it starts to creep a tiny bit, back off throttle a tiny bit so that it settles still and build as much boost as you're willing to hammer through the tailshaft... Then simultaneously drop the handbrake quickly, let off the brake and ease the throttle to 100% to minimize/prevent wheelspin. (this all assumes slicks/radials on a sticky surface). Experiment based on surface

^ sounds legit I just use the footbrake though

just stall it up as much as you can until you get wheelspin.. if youre not getting wheel spin you can build more boost/rpm before the launch

and turn traction control off! as long as you can correct the car getting sideways yourself.. 

I never have tc on when Im driving hard, takes all the fun away

Step 1 is definitely buy decent tyres though.  Which tyres do you have on currently?  275 is pretty wide, are they worn down or high treadwear rating?  Is your suspension ok?
