Default help me off the line

the best i can get is 2.11, i'm doin about 2500rpm launches feathering the clutch (still on the 10 bolt). the car is bogging down right off the line, is this my inexperience or something that can be fixed with tuning. also time was 13.1 @ 109, shouldn't my time be better for that trap speed.

put on some slicks, put your right foot to the floor and hold it there for about 2 seconds, and then take your left foot off the clutch. that shoudl help.


i dont know, theere is a bunch of stuff that could be wrong. do a search. it you are on street tires that is where i would start. then take off the front sway bar.

I still have my 10 bolt and i launch like crazy, get some nitto 555r and drop them to 13psi dont feather the clutch. just have the clutch all the way down and rev to about 2500rpm and as soon as your going to lauch mash on the gas and let go of the clutch at the same time. that should do the trick, or if you still have regular tires try lowering the presure on them till you get some drag radials, ohh and by the way i know its just a matter of time till i blow my rear end
