so when are you going to get some real times in?
Its killing me right now. I STILL cannot find the problem with the NA. Its in the fuel, but its breaking my balls. As for the turbo, I can't get to the dyno until the 1st of August. And who knows what can happen on the dyno. I swear to god, if I have to, I will bring my daily to the Shoot Out just to run something, lol.

I'd love to but again, same problem of having a car ready. Oh well, sometimes the racing gods just say not right now.

So pretty much if I learn how to launch my car I could be doing a whole lot better on the track.
If you had just two things to work on at the track, they would be launch and speed shift (no lift shifting). The importance of the launch is obvious. I've got mine down so much, that I pretty much feel like I am dumping the clutch (though I know I'm not). Its a slight slip to start her moving then a hard dump. RPM points on the launch will change with set-ups etc.
As for speed shifting, you'd be amazed at how much time you can shave. A buddy of mine (who is working records with the stock 14b) fought me on speed shifting for the longest time. Finally got him to speed shift and he dropped his time down from 11.75 to 11.59. That's a huge number in just a shift change.
Best way to learn is to do it with the car off and just sit there and practice shifting while keeping your foot fully on the gas (I actually start to move my shifter before I fully disengage my clutch. Its one fluid, quick-snap motion). Practice on the 1-2 or the 3-4. When you feel comfortable, try doing it at 3-4k. Believe it or not, if done properly, it will not hurt your tranny. I have yet to (knocks on wood) burn a synchro or a gear set on my trannys.
