Well sad to say my results were not much better then before...and actually worse for the most part.

The problem I am having now..which was never happening before, is that when I shift to 2nd the tires break loose and spin till around 6500 RPMs...then they catch and the car boggs down to 4000 RPMs! This is killing my times.
What the hell can I do!?

The best time last night was 14.79 vs the previous 14.84..which sucks! With the GSR tranny and lightweight flywheel I was hoping for much better.

Hey,

I've heard the scratching during shifts hurts times (which it apparently does), so try to shift as fast as possible without spinning. Lay off the throttle a little longer during the shift so you don't scratch and that should help. You should gain back a few tenths there.

Take this with a grain of salt, I'm a pathetic drag racer

Heh..thanx for the advice.

I tried just about everything...but I didnt try that.
I even tried pressing the clucth AGAIN once the car bogged in 2nd gear...which helped a little..but didnt really.

Guess I at least need some drag radials.

 

What tires and pressure you running at? Maybe a little less air pressure.

I tried anywhere from 36 psi to 22 psi...same results.

 

What I dont understand is why are the RPMs dropping to 4000 after the wheels stop "spinning" in 2nd gear?

Ive alwasy had some wheel spin in 2nd gear...but after they stopped "spinning" the RPMs woul continue to climb to redline...and now after they spin...they drop back down.

Is it possible that the much lighter flywheel is causing this?
