2nd gear launch?
- Thread starter Jayhall
- Start date
Im definatly not spinning my tires off the line. Im just not getting it off the line hard enough. It doesnt bog out either, Im just not doing it right. Usually I keep the rev's up around 3700 and give the clutch a quick slip, but its now a very effective method for me.
Ive got Toyo R1-R's now. They are the closest tire to a R888 that are still street legal. Yes I know those tires are not drag radials, but Im trying to keep with an all round performance platform. From what Im reading my Microtech has and internal two-step. Maybe I should utilize that.
Ive been thinking about changing my gears up. I like the 4.30's but Ive never really experienced anything eles.

2 step can make a big difference. Are you running a T67? You might really prefer a 3.91 diff (on the street). In the past I put a 4:10 torsen in mine and I really didn't like the way it ran up the gears/RPM's so fast. My engine and turbo combo did better with the loading effect of the 3.91 gears, and it felt like I spent more time in boost. I may be wrong, but I think the 3.91's make me slower off the line but faster from a roll.Jayhall;1514599 said:
yes Brad, T67. Ive got a Kaaz 2-way sitting in my closet, but Im not ready to install it until I have decided which gears I want to stick with for a while. both tires gripping hard on a 2-step should definatly get me into the 11's without a bigger tune

There is the problem! On M/T ET streets without my Anti lag active, I was doing 1.7's-1.8's all day.
I'm awaiting my Hoosiers then I will try those with my Anti lag active to build boost off the line.
You will get there bud, Just takes sometime.
what you guys are talking about makes me think. I run kumho tires 245/45/zr17's with the stock gears and I can take off in 1st gear and spin at every shift at 15lbs. with a full tank of gas and a spare. Unless I let off the gas. Any ideas at what could stop that.

Are you talking on the track or street? On the street I was forced to use limit 1st gear boost to 11psi to avoid spinning my 295 BFG KDW's. My AVCR boost controller lets me choose the boost for each gear. Poor man's traction control, but really handy!
