Nice, what tires & how much psi did you run in the tires.

[IBDRINKEN]

stock gxp tires with stock psi, i know if i drop the psi I might be able to pick a few tenths.

[Filipp]

What rpm did you launch at?

[DeepBlueGXP]

Nice numbers, if you had dropped the PSI to 19, your 60 foot time would be much better also.

[IBDRINKEN]

I believe I launed at about 2000 rpm's. I also has the esc off.

[LatinVenom]

The stock rear tires need to be at 19-20 psi and you should get some better numbers, just like Joe said.

[IBDRINKEN]

thanks for the tips, next time I go to the track I will do that

Very solid numbers!

Is your car an auto or stick?  I have an auto and with the ESC off I launch around 2000 to 2400 (depends on the temp outside if I get wheel spin or not) and the car pulls hard through 3rd gear.  Most things I've read show the gearing between the auto & stick to be about the same, just curious how well 4th pulls in the manual trans cars.

Thanks its a manual forth pulls pretty strong

Interesting. Stock, my car's power really seems to die in fourth gear. It'll pull in 4th, but not in time for a 1/4 mile run. Revs are too low after the shift, and the finish line comes just as it's just starting to pull again.

I need a tune, but I just don't have the funds for it right now...
