NICE ONE dysan... so please describe your launching & shifting techniques (with the WOTbox I assume)..?

 

[dysan]

Thanks! I have my wotbox at 3000 rpms for the 2-step and I pretty much just slip the clutch off the line. I'll post up a video from in the car on Sunday and you can hear how I launch. I don't know if my launch rpm's will work the same for you since you're using a centri blower and I'm using a TVS so I believe I get more torque as soon as I let the clutch out.

As far as shifting, I really just kind-of feel the car out as I'm going. Sometimes I'm shifting out of first just shy of 5k rpms and the rest are usually right around 6k rpms. Once again, since you're using a centri blower you'll want your shifts as high as you can at the edge of your power band since you make your peak power higher up, when mine starts dying off shy of 6k.


This video was from Sunday when I ran my 11.42, I haven't had a chance to upload last night's 11.34 run yet. I think my car has more in it since I don't shift very fast in an effort to keep my 118k mile transmission from grenading on me.

Third time at the track ever. First time running the ET Streets. Spun a little on my 2 best e.t. passes since I didn't warm the tires enough. DA was around 1300', 84*, 95-100% humidity. Only got 4 runs in and the other two were 13.30s. There are definitely some 12s in her. Just need some more seat time.

OK I just viewed the video... and you're quite right, your car is much more "torquey" - as I listen to your shift points I hear they're lower RPMs than mine. It sounds like you're hooking pretty damned well off the line I don't hear tire spin... overall it looks like you're doing everything well & make it look easy - GREAT JOB bro... thanks for sharing!

New personal best 12.099 at 110.30. Note this was on ET Streets, not ET Radial. Note the reaction time: I waited for the green to ensure my RPMs were up. I'm not that slow off the tree! Thanks fellas...
