o i will i dont think that the numbers will be that great because it will be my first time really driving a non automatic car at the track and i am not very good only been doing it for 2 mths now and i am still learning stuff

Wurd to that bro! Its my first manual and i didnt do too good at the track my first time.. But i will have a new time on dec 10th i can tell you that much!

Anyone got any good advice on how the hell to launch this thing with the minimum amount of tire spin? Seems like you really have to back off of it in 1st gear, maybe even part of second gear, then you can really hammer it after about 30% of second is gone?? Lemme know what you guys get your best launches wit!

ive been playing with this problem since i got the car..the best way ive found is reving up to about 4000 rpm and keep it there for about a second or two...then the clutch out at a medium-fast speed but DONT pop it. then let it out and then floor it..in second you can shift fast or let off a little to elimnate wheel hop and spin..if u do it right u dont mess your clutch up that bad..but sometimes if you over rev u will smell your clutch..not good..

so u got any numbers navy, hopefully you ran some runs with and without the mod like you said. but dont worry about the e.t i wanna see some 98-100 mph's
