Dumb question
I know this may sound a bit wierd, but what is your method of launching on the 1/4?

RE: Dumb question
watch the tree as your waitin in the line...
i usually get it down to where it starts countin down, his the red light and go cuz by the time you move the lights green..
but like i said, you gotta get to know the lights to get a good reaction time

RE: Dumb question
I guess I will launch at 4K since that is where the launch control is set at when I finally get to the drag strip

3500 - 4k is like perfect...i dont have the launch control but my friend has the Hondata S200 with the 2- step...1st step, the rev limiter at idle is set to 4 grand..so it just bounches there and wont go any further(if you didnt know what 2 step is lol)2nd step after launch i think he has it set between 6500 and 7k...and he always catches good on the pavement

Evo's are cool, until a k20 walks off on you like you're going backwards

RE: Dumb question
