With stock converter I usually launched around 1100 or 1200. Got a few 1.9x 60' out of it. Do you have any problems with traction?

With a lid, cat back, LCA's, and Sub Frame Connectors, I had a couple 2.0x's. But your ET is better than mine, my best is 13.64. I'm also running 2.73's, and launch at about 1200 RPM's.

I usually just launch off idle for 2.0s. If I stall it up, I usually spin too much. This is on bald RS-As. When I get new tires I'm hoping for 1.9s.

if it will hook.. flashing it will net the best 60ft.

stage, take foot completely of the pedal. When the lights come down.. stomp it.

I was flashing my stock converter also. Let the car idle, on the second yellow floor the car while holding the brake. let off brake on the third yellow. you should be able to cut 1.9

I absolutely smoke my pathetic 245/50/16 Yokohama all seasons if I stomp the gas off the line.

I have 3.23 gear and the aforementioned tires and launch around 1300-1500 by yanking my foot off the brake and rolling onto the gas for the first second or so. I hit a 1.9 doing this at Byron when it was about 85* out.

Yea man if you can get traction I would advise "flash" stalling your stock converter. A set of Nitto DR's would help alot. But really the stock converter is a dog and I dont think I would expect much better than a 1.8-1.9 60 with it. Good Luck
