I have an 02 ws6 a4 with a stock rear end and stock convertor, what rpm do u guys recomend i should be launching at? Ive been launching at about 1300 1400 budget sometimes it takes off harder than others, when im getting ready to launch i press the brake pedal all the way down with full pressure on the pedal and rev up to about 1400,then i launch,so my main question are am i doing it right? And what rpm should i be launching at?

Any advice would be helpfull....btw, im on nt555r,s

 

I press down until it feels like the car wants to go which seems to be at about 2500 and I have got 1.8 60fts with stock converter, 3.42 gears and M/T DRs.

But every car is different you just have to experiment and find the sweet spot

 

i always thought it was best to flash a stock converter.

 

Wow 2500 thatw almost twice the rpms....ok cool im gonna try going a little higher and see if it starts spinning the tires...do you think your gears might have something to do with how high you can actually bring up your rpms before your tires start spinnig...because i have 3.23s

 

Try launching from near idle and flashing the converter. I have a Yank SS 3600 and l launch like 700-800 rpm.

 

Wouldnt launching at 7-800 be to low and it would give me slower 1/4 mile times?

 

I don't know, that's why I said try it. It just happens to work for me. Just compare the 60' to see which way is better.

 

Is thje stock converter even able to stall up to 2500? All i can get out of it is 14-1500rpm.

 

Yep...i tried launching higher than 1400 yesterday and it would just start spining my tires....

 

+1 I was never able to get my stocker to 2500.
