Default Launching Tips PLEASEE

i get consistant 60 foot times around 2.42's and the temperature was like 100 outside. If i am running street tires should i deflate them a lil bit?? I am running hankook rs2's on a 2000 si intake header itr catback and i have lsd. I launch at around 7.

Any Tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

are you spinning alot? that seens kind of high to launch on street tires. i would say 20 psi and maybe 4-5k launch but i dont know if you are spinning, couldnt imagine you werent. play around with the rpm go low and launch higher and higher till you spin, then back down till you keep traction pretty well. hope that helps

you are gonna have to slide it. dont preload, dont dump. feather 3-4k, and slide it ouf of the hole. with street tires, traction is a loosing proposition.

use falken tires and lower it to 18 psi. and try launching at 3500-4000 rpm. that would do it
