Get full blown slicks launch at 7k Jk get someone who knows what there talking about give some info hahaha that's what a did with my honda non turbo worked great don't know if it's different with fwd turbo dsm

Launching a fwd Dsm without slicks is very hard!! I could not get better than a 2.2 60ft and that was slipping the clutch a lot which I don't like doing! Once you get slicks it's a new car!! Stutter box 6000 preload and GO!! 1.7 60ft feels great!!

no slicks , im using riken raptor zs , and its a 5 speed not this auto preload crap !!! I was worried about bogging at the track with it set to 4500 . I was thinking higher but idk

I launch at 5250 with slicks and cut mid 1.7 60'. Without slicks launching is pointless just getting out of the hole without tire spin and wheel hop is all you should be focused on, your not going to cut any great 60' no matter what really. Go try bro you will see ! You won't bog at all at 4500 you will just spin and probably wheel hop. I suggest you lower the tire pressure a lot like 18psi ish might get you alittle launch, but watch that wheel hop its a trans killer!
