I just wanted to get some feedback on this. Last time I went to the track 1st gear was just a waste to even start in. The car wouldn't hook for shit, I know its all about the throttle control but as soon as any boost built it would break loose, 2nd gear would hook really well though. Anyways here is want Im thinking. I have MS set to a 4k studderbox building some boost off the line. Start in 2nd gear and slip the clutch quickly. It may be a tad slower off the line but your eliminating the 1-2nd shift.
This is also on street tires! I did a few on the street the other day and the car didn't bog, still spun a little but was easily controlled with the throttle. I haven't done any timed 0-60s yet so I have no evidence if this is any faster than the normal start.
I have the clutch for it so Im not worried about breaking that, but what about the tranny? Like I said Im not dumping the clutch but slipping it out quickly so it should be fine right? I will be going back to the track in a few weeks so I think Im going to give this a try and see how it goes.
