i have ran my car a few times and i cant get my launching right.

and a 15.93 at 90..launching at 3500 with 35 psi tire pressure
and then i ran a 15.97 at 89 launching at 3000, with 30psi tire pressure

use your ebake to help you preload the drivetrain. slip the clutch out of the hole. lower your tire psi to 20.

whatever you do, DO NOT dump the clutch/shock the drivetrain.

 

^^ Agreed. I use 23 psi in my tires, but you'll have to see what works the best for you. 35 psi is alot. I noticed when I dropped my tire pressure it eliminated alot of my wheel hop. Good luck.

 

okay, i usually just drop the clutch, next time ill take it less easy and then give it full throttle..i noticed a big difference of wheel hp when i lowered it to 30 from 35psi..so next time ill go to 25 or 26..
