DR's What to launch at

Black02GT · June 2nd, 2009, 10:39 PM

Going to be using someones drag radials at the track this weekend.. Just wondering what you guys recommend to launch at?

01whitecobra · June 3rd, 2009, 12:17 AM

what kind of clutch do you have? that will tell you how hard you really want to lean on it.

stock

01whitecobra · June 3rd, 2009, 09:40 AM

5000-5500 maybe. after a few passes you are going to be able to tell you have been side stepping it. lol

start at 5k and see how it does if it bogs bring the revs up some more. spinning back them down some. stock clutches though do not like being side stepped allot.

if you try and get greedy get ready to replace a clutch

which dr's? and heat the shit out of them, start at 2500 if it doesnt bog increase the rpm by 300 each pass

Black02GT · June 3rd, 2009, 05:43 PM

cool

03MachMe · June 3rd, 2009, 09:20 PM

are they on a 17 or 15in rim?

Black02GT · June 3rd, 2009, 09:33 PM

17

mrbigjeep · June 3rd, 2009, 10:55 PM

i dunno that i would dump the clutch on a drag radial...

i slip the clutch and launch at 4500 for a 1.8....if you can hook a little better, which i assume you should with DR's, then you could probably do a 5000 launch

Ryan Paymaster · June 3rd, 2009, 11:41 PM

I launched @ 3,500 on M/T DR on a 17" Cobra R. This was on the stock clutch.

I replaced the toothpick T-45 with a TKO-500 and a SPEC Stage 3+ clutch a year later.

Racing is breaking. I'd say start at 4,000.

Black02GT · June 5th, 2009, 05:19 PM

haha ok

Black02GT · June 6th, 2009, 12:35 PM

Well I didn't get to borrow any dr's aparently he had different bolts or some crap than me.. so they wouldn't work.

Anyways I ran a new best of 8.8 at this different track which hooks better. 8.8 on bald tires impressed me big time!

mrbigjeep · June 6th, 2009, 01:09 PM

60ft time?? trap speed?

futureMACH1racer · June 6th, 2009, 11:09 PM

I launch at 5200 on ET Streets, then again nothing in my drivetrain is stock. I broke it all in thy name of racing.

torchem99 · June 8th, 2009, 05:03 PM

you better watch it. with stock 28 spline if you hook your gonna snap em

Ryan Paymaster · June 9th, 2009, 02:52 AM

What kind of tq/hp can a 28 spline handle? I don't think he's going to annihilate his GT - I thought the 8.8" is a pretty stout rear end even with the 28 spline?

My buddy hit the track with stickies in his 04 mach 1. 298rwhp. 3200 miles on the odometer. launched at 5000, SNAP. he rolled maybe an inch. its all in the launch. I think the horsepower is irrelevant. Its the dumps that hold issue. Just make sure you preload the car.

8.8 81.8 mph 2.170 .468 reaction

Black02GT · June 26th, 2009, 11:02 PM

I don't want to launch with it revved up I just want to be able to feather it and not spin.
