wat would u recommend i practice?

 

anyone? with anything else

 

Hard to say, we weren't there to see what issues you were having, were you bogging spinning how are you shifting etc. Are you preloading?

 

i launched at 3.5k 4k and 5k (with feathering)
shifted at 8k and i think i bogged in the lower rpms and spun alittle in the higher ones. im gonna trry lower psi in the tires around 30-32

 

What tires are you using?

 

azenis rt-615

 

A couple of things to remember, its better to spin then to bog cause your at least moving when your spinning.
1. you may want to try preloading a little. This does a couple of things. 1st it reduces the amount of shock on your drive train from just dumping the clutch and saying, here you go bitch! It also gets the tires biting a little.
2. also try power shifting you know keep the gas to the floor hit the clutch shift and let go of the clutch.
3. if you are spinning make that clutch your bitch

 

I used azenis and I ran about 20 psi and cut 2.1 60s all day occassionally 2.0s. This was in an ls-v ek hatch with headers and cai. I went 14.4 first pass. You definently have a 14.5 if your 60 improves. Other than that thats not bad. Just need a bit more seat time. Good luck!

 

lower to about 17-20psi in the tires. launch very high and ride that clutch out. I used to launch at 8000rpm on street tires when I had mods like yours 2.1 60fts all day. just ride the clutch hard

 

you launched 8000??? are you joking?

 

wow dude you need to work on that 60'

I raced my car on dry rotted kelly 185/65/14 and left the line at 3500rpm like it was a stoplight and made mid 2.2's, 30+ psi of air in the tires too.....

dumping the clutch at 8k and slipping the hell out of the clutch at 8k is 2 different things IMO......

 

I used to cut 2.0 sixty foots all the time on crappy tires. Between 20 and 28psi, and make sure you are not burning the **** out of your tires if they are regular street tires; just knock the pebbles off and get on with it! Then what everyone else said; shift like there's no tomorrow and glue the gas to the floor.

 

driving is important.

i ran a 14.8 in my talon, with a 2.8 60ft (awd), and im making close to 400whp on a normal reading dyno.

 

I did 14.2 at 101 mph and my 60ft 2.3 the car I drove was a stock turbo b16 tune at 5psi on a greddy 18g turbo kit. I fill that I could better but he had a stock clutch and its not my car....lol it was a eg hatch.

 

Horrible times.

Needs a better driver. You should be in mid 14s. Arent ITRs supposed to rev out to like 8.5K or 9K? why are you shifting at 8k?

I took my 100% gsr integra full interior from 15.5 to 15.1 by practicing and taking it to its 8100 redline, no powershifts lol..I think my 60' were something horrible like a 2.2 or low 2.3 cant remember.

 

nope revvy is 8400 on usdm itrs
