Default new to drag questions

im not new to the honda game, but im new to the whole dag racing scene and want to give the track some trys.

i've been hearing people use different terms an just want to know what they mean, so sorry if they're easy, not sure if you guys flame a lot like some of the others.

anyways. things liek preloading the car instead of just popping the clutch and then popping your axles.

launch control

what rpms most of you guys drop it at when at the 1320

launch control--when you preload you want to launch the car at a set rpm most engine management systems have this built in ie. Hondata, Neptune, Aem etc etc

what rpms most of you guys drop it at when at the 1320---depends on your car and your setup best thing to do is try different rpm ranges..practice practice practice

squating---I believe you are referring to weight transfer from the front to the rear and you want your suspension to take care of this for you so get a good suspension setup you want to minimize as little transfer as possible from the front to the rear on a FWD car

Hope that helps you!!!
