hey im going to LACR, i heard about the elevation and stuff up there, can anybody give me some tips for launching my car, what rpm, or other helpful tips. please respond ASAP, thanks

 

my best run at LACR was a 15.4 stock pressures and everything. I launched at 5.5k slipping the clutch. You can mess around with that. Even try droppin the clutch at 3k-3.5k. Launch at the third amber light. HTH

any more 1/4 mile times at lacr, need tips, thanx.

 

and what pressure should i set my tires at, they are federal tires,

 

i dont drag race too much so i dont know what the pressure should be set at. As for driving tips. Shift at redline and do it quickly.

 

I've ran at LACR before. That track is terrible. The fastest time i could dish out that night was a 15.313@90.376mph. I was running 28psi front pressure w/ no spare and the only mod i had was an AEM CAI. I tried a lot of different launch techniques. What seemed to work the best for me was to drop the clutch at about 5k and feather the throttle to get it to hook up as quickly as possible. this got me my fastest times. hope this helps. Have fun up there as you will probably get a lot of runs in tonight (my guess is 15+ runs).

 

hey when you mean feather the throtlle, what is that???

 

what i meant by feathering the throttle is after the clutch is dropped at 5k-5.5k rpms there is sure as hell gonna be wheel spin. don't just mash the pedal to the floor and hope the car will take off.. play with the throttle and how much gas you give the car to control your wheelspin. If you do it right you should be able to minimize your wheelspin and hook up fairly quick.
