Bracket Racing
What kind of vehicle?
If you have a drive by wire setup, then HPTuners now allows you to limit the total throttle amount opening (think of it like a throttle stop) to run consistently at a lower index.

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy
oh crap a half second I thought it was .05 sorry would need 500 lbs of balast lol
but that is unsafe amount
some type of throttle stop would be best or rev limit during the pass

Imma be in the same boat as you. You could also use a bigger, taller, heavier tire to kill your gear ratio and add rotating weight. Not only that but a fat assed tire will ensure you hook every time.

The only other consistent option is reducing timing. Adding weight always works, but as mentioned it'll effect reaction time. I recommend adding weight and putting a shorter tire on the car. That will get you back on the tree after adding weight and also slow you down as the tree sees it. Once you get close, then reduce the shift points as needed.

I think he should use a taller tire rather than smaller to reduce his gear ratio. If you play around with your front tire you can get your reaction times down back to ware they are now (if there good now).

Like TXCAMSS said: dropping the timing back is the most consistent way to slow the car down and once you get pretty close to your number, work on short-shifting the car..(lowering the shift points). Those two with maybe a little weight added should be enough variables to drop a half second.
i dont have the money for a new set of slicks. Ill probably just short shift the car. I wana launch of the t-brake for rt purposes. Again i have less then 2 weeks to do this. I have already pulled timming out of the car.
