ya, are yall easy on the throttle, like press down slowly, or just go WOT from 1st gear to the end of the trak???
i know the turbo guys have to massage it a lil, but im talkin na status where spinnin em isnt as easy at wot....
it feels, in my case/ride, that in first and second, if i massage the throttle (push further down) as the rpms rise, i get up quicker as compared to when she's pinnd to da floor for the whole run...
lemme hear what your strategy(s) R...

Yeah, i feel the same as you. I usually start off the line with rpm's around 2500 or so, then slip the clutch to get a slight roll going, then let off the clutch fully while giving in more gas, NOT mashing it to the floor. I always get up moving faster this way. After 1st gear at redline, shift to second and i then usually mash it all the way down through the left over gears..Now that i have a turbo, i'm gonna have to retrain myself all over again And yes, the turbo guys slowly use the pedal to get moving..mashing it just bogs the motor really..

I am turbo and I mash it all the time. The only time you let off is when the tires start spinning. I am sure when I start boosting 15 psi its going to hard not to spin them. But for stage 1 and 2 you can mash it from the start with minimum wheel spin.
