The rest of the exhaust is 2.5" true duals over the axle with 2 sweet thunder mufflers.

throttle body

altitude,temp,humidity,barometric pressure.

i would say low 12s w/traction depending on driving skillzz

Nitto DRs, 245/50/16 on the salad shooters
I think the track is about 750ft ASL, and it should be fairly dry and in the 60's tonight

Exactly my guess. It depends on what 60's you are able to pull but I will guess 12.40-12.80 throughout your runs.

This is given you can pull a 2.00 60 ft.

Traps should be 112-116mph...

12.50's is my guess too And I think traps will be about 114, maybe 115 area. I should be able to get at least 2.0 60's out of it

If you leave the line around 2,500rpm and do not spin a 2.0x is going to happen. Be carefull going into the upper 3,000rpm range these rear ends don't like it with an m6. I've broken 3 already...

Yeah, I'm REALLY hoping I won't grenade the rear end... I'll keep it to 2500 or so and cross my fingers...

I think you will be ok at that RPM. Just don't straight drop the clutch try to ride it out of the hole.

This clutch tends towards the "on or off" variety, lol

Which one are you running? I know what you mean though. It may take a pass or two but the best way to preserve these things is after you second stage bring the clutch up to the point to where it is damn near about to roll forward but don't go to far or you will redlight. That will put you at the friction point and allow you to ride it out. It's kind of tricky at first though...

It's a Powergrip HD

Someone else told me to get the clutch just up to its initial grab point and hold my foot on the brakes as well (like you would when starting a brake stand), because that well take out any driveline "slack" and make the launch less harsh. It makes sense to me but it seems like it would be easy to screw up.

Unless you get ur dick down there to hold the brake pedal that is going to be hard to do, lol.

But in all reality, maybe use the E-brake?

haha, well I don't have one so that wouldn't be an option anyway.

But it's very possibly to do, I do it all the time. You just use your right foot, heel on the brake, toes on the gas - clutch in with the left foot, then punch the gas with your toes, drop the clutch, and then you can move your left to the brake and the right to the gas.

Silly automatic drivers

edit: That would be for doing a brakestand, but the same technique applies to holding the car still with the clutch out slightly while being staged
