ATL,
My car is fast but I'm lousy at launching it.

R/t 1.366
60' 2.476
330 5.907
1/8 8.731
MPH 89.02
1000 11.120
1/4 13.159
MPH 110.76



Consistent 1.7 60 should be doable, I just need practice. If I can run a decent 60' I'm thinking mid 12's should possible with that ET.
Currently 23 psi, on pump, AWD. Yup I can't launch.


Nest mod: wide band O2 or HKS 272's???????
 
No offense but a 2.4 60' in an AWD is worse then lousy...

none the less good time/mph

If you stop launching at idle mid 12's will soon come your way :)
 
Dude your profile says you got a dsm-link... USE the launch control on it!!!

I am pulling 2.1 60ft on winter tires and with out the help of dsm-link...I am FWD OMG

You should be rockin low ass 12's with a 50 trim and dsm-link...
What other type of issue's are you dealing with?
 
I just haven't got launching down with the big turbo and stutterbox. That was my first time EVER to any track. I'm sure I'll get 60ft times down to 1.6-1.7 with a little more practice. I have launch RPMs set to 5000 with antilag at 4000RPM 10ATDC and 5% fuel enrichment. I build enough boost to open the wastegate. I think my settings are okay. I just need to practice. I'm going back to the track this weekend. I'll guarantee better numbers.
 
Went to the track again. I figured out what I was doing wrong last time. I was holding the stutterbox until the wastegate opened, which of course let out all my boost. This time I gave it a bit less gas on the stutter to keep the WG closed.

Best time of the day 12.487@107 with 1.73 60'. 23psi, pump, half tuned
 
Just like I said low ass 12's... Dsm-Link rules!

I bet a little more tuning and better driving along with some race gas you will be high 11's :thumb:
