Well I usually let the clutch out to the point where it catches and on 3(or go) let it out and dump the gas?? sometimes i spin tires sometimes I dont does anyone have a better method?.....Please help

 

i hate to tell you, but your probably gonna get ripped on for having the name civickillahz24 and only pull 14.2. Just a warning, i'm not doggin you.

 

Every car and setup runs different. There isn't one way to lauch a car and be the right way. Just go to the track and see what works best for you. Practice beats bench racing every single time.

 

And with those mods and a 14.2 at 107? Dude I gotta see a slip or a pic.

 

I would but lack of scanner

 

Sounds a little fishy to me.

 

i saw one of those z24 things run a 12.8 the other day so its not impossible.

 

why do u only have a 14.2 when ur trapping 107?

 

Too much tirespin early in the race, that's why... and I wouldn't be surprised if one of his 'other little mods' was nitrous

There's a nitrous'd Cavalier around here that runs 14.2 also on slicks... it's pretty riced out; kind of amusing seeing blinking LEDs and things flying down the track

 

A trap speed of 107 should be a high 12 sec. run. Oh wait, it is a domestic, I forgot how fast they are. HA HA.

 

this is not something that is tangible, it takes practice and trial and error ...


I took my mom's 81 corolla 3tc when it was about 2 yrs new, and went to the 1/8 mile track and kept practicing launching technique until I got to a point what made it best ...

there was also street racing which was good practice but that is not worth condoning.

What are your 60ft times???

 

Agreed. I don't condone it either, but.....it does wonders for your launch consistency. You basically need to just do it over and over again. Each car is different. Rarely can someone else jump in your car and vice versa and run a better time...chances are they'll run worse.

 

i find the street is so different from the track.

 

Cavy's SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

ur rite they do suck
get a new car foo

what '96 motor swap did you do?

It must be a pretty potent V6

 

For myself I tach it up to about 5000-5500, light turns I mash the gas and let the clutch slide quickly, but not too fast cause then I get wheel hop and spin. You just can't go wrong with practice. I've probably spent close to $200 paying for 'Test and Tune' nights at my local track, and the practice I've learned has probably made me quicker then any $200 mod I could buy.

Good luck!

 

1/8th mile times?

 

my best is 10.4 on a weak clutch on the 1/8 mile, launching sucks with this clutch
