Default Test Run

It was a nice day out today, updated my current tune with a new revision and decided to take it out for a quick run to make sure everything worked right and didnt stall before I headed to work in the morning. Only thing I forgot to do was to reload the shift points (part throttle and WOT) so they are set to stock in the vid (I hate stock shift points), they really seeem to slow it down quite a bit when you are not shifting as high as normal. I usually have them set right at 6200 for 1-2 & 2-3.

I am hoping that the set of caltracs ordered will let me hit it a little harder off the line, those 1/2 throttle launches suck

I hear ya. Even if there is just 10 feet between two vehicles they will try to get in.

Main reason on why i went with rear Nitto Drag Radials full time. Still have to watch it but its def' put the fun factor in idle launches. Sucked having to feather it out on street tires.

Yeah, I'll be happy with a 3/4 throttle launch. Right now if I baby it off the line and hit it at 30mph it'll chirp the wheels every now and then.
