1st or 2nd for the manual guys

MikeyComputers · 05-17-2013, 01:49 PM

Hey guys just wondering i run nitto nt05 sometimes ill hook up in 1st not really. i was wondering do you guys when u race launch is 1st or 2nd.

also anyone out there running MT ET streets?

2nd is too hard on the clutch with the stock diff gearing.

Now if you had the AT rear end gears then I bet you could launch in 2nd.

I'm running cobb e30 map and I launch from 1st andlately with the warmer weather I've been hooking up well.

But also I have camber kits in the rear so I'm running like -.6 degrees of camber with 275 wide re-11 tires.

Second gear launch would probably be too slow for mt guys cause of the low final drive. ..3.08 vs 3.46

1st gear and short shift if you spin like crazy

MikeyComputers · 05-17-2013, 03:46 PM

I limit boost in 1st to like 9psi. That seems to work pretty well. On the track I can go maybe 10psi since it's usually a little stickier. I try to work the gas pedal on my launches a little bit, rather than just mash it.

LSD would help

Rotary Rasp · 05-17-2013, 04:09 PM

I limit first gear to 8psi which does help a lot.

Can't limit boost per gear with the Accessport

MikeyComputers · 05-18-2013, 02:15 AM
