Anyone got specialy tips for launching and driving a turboed car at the track?
Going to the track in a few days. I know launching a turboed car is different than a na car. What tips do you have for me for launching on street tires? Any special tips for driving either?

dont tach too high... lots of traction problems develop. try low tach launches at first to develop a good consistent launch. its all practice.
i know guys who put on their ebrake while hittin the gas and clutch to develop spool.. then drop it as soon as they launch at the light. it worked for a few times for me.. but i rather just hit the gas then do all that.

<20psi in the front tires.
Rev to 3.5k, slip the clutch.
Bang gears.
Trap at 100+ mph.
Grab 13 sec timeslip.
Get back in line.
Repeat as necessary.
