iam going to the track for the first time and my friend wants me to run his GSR with my slicks. his GSR only has I/H/E and is slightly gutted, i just wanted your guy's opinion on what rpm to launch and what psi to use. i was thinking like 12 psi and 6500 rpm launch. also its my first time actually racing at the track ive been to the rack before but its my first time racing there, i need info on staging as well please help me out, THANKS.

 

try 5000rpm and heat em up real good

 

7000-7500 rpm clutch dump.

that's what i do and get 1.8s.

7000 is good

 

i use them in my gsr hb. heat them up(2-4 sec burnout is enough), i use 10psi in them, and launch at 7-7.5k low 1.8s high 1.7s, gsr tranny, no lsd

 

try not to go too low o the PSI on those slicks. too flat = less mph at the top end.

 

whats low to you? you can see my speed, but thats w/o a front end(no bumper), and gsr tranny, 10psi in the slicks

 

I used to do 13.6 and 13.7 @99/100 mph on a CRX w/ All motor D16A6.
using the same slicks. but at about 12/13 psi.

 

12 psi, else the slicks start spinning on the rim.

I'm on my 3rd set of 20x8x14's

 

guess ill raise the psi next time

Did you run the GSR on the slicks? How were the times? What did you launch at? I'm thinking about getting some slicks if it will drop my 2.3 60' times

 

he ran a 14.8-14.9. Not sure what he was launching at or what his 60ft was as I didnt look at the timeslip.

 

Check my sig. I was using the 20x6x14 MT's. 12-14 psi. 6k launch.

 

launch at 6.5 2.0 on those baby slicks

 

11psi and launch it off the revlimiter.

 

dont break an axle, i would recommend bringing a replacement set along with tools to replace the axles incase it breaks

 

your not gonna break axles with 20x8x14 slicks.

They won't have enough grip and will break loose first.

 

my friend broke his axle on nitto 555r's, another friend broke an axles scratching 2nd on street tires, another broke an axles turning around after the race on street tires. but hey its up to you, i just wouldnt wanna take a chance and get stranded at the track

 

i think its different with every car, but just try different rmp's to launch at, higher is usually better for not breaking axles and you can feather it out if you start spinning

AXLE HOP not traction kills axles.

Yes a D15 will break axles if you let axle hop ruin your day.

 

the first guy broke it on the launch so he never even got wheel hop, and the 2 other guys were on teh street, not at the track. these werent d15, first guy has a b16 in eg, second guy has a b16 in a ed, 3rd guy have a gsr in a eg
