ok, but then after this race, you come back after a few more months when I really know how to drive

[FormulaLT1]

Why, you must have some skills by now

[FormulaLT1]

But I have no problem racing you more than once as I'm not planning on going any where

[Joseph1082]

lol, yea, I can churp into second, and sometimes into third, but i'm not as consistent as I would like to be... I might have a good race, might have a bad, we'll have to run a couple of times.
I do not know how to launch for shit... you have a stall right?

[FormulaLT1]

Yeah but cause I use my car for street duty its very mild but it I launch too high I do nothing spin anyway so it works fine for what I use it for

[Joseph1082]

What's the speed???

[FormulaLT1]

1800 Stall speed but I think my Tranny line pressure is too high can some times it will jerk at idle

[FormulaLT1]

I don't think I asked you, How old are you Joe?

[Joseph1082]

21, and lovin it... So you wont take off til your RPMs reach 1800 then, right?

[FormulaLT1]

Thats what it should be under heavy throttle position but it doesn't always work that way

[Joseph1082]

Ok, i got ya... BTW, couldn't you just power break to get the same effect?

[FormulaLT1]

No stock converter will usually lock up and spin the rear at around 1200 -1300 while aftermarket will allow for higher rev but the stall speed depends on alot of variables and isn't always right on more of a estimate of when contact should be made

[Joseph1082]

ok, casue in my auto i used to hold the break and rev to about 2000 before a race, and it worked fin, no spin... but that was a v6... so i'm gonna have to dupm my clutch at 1800 to be even

[FormulaLT1]

Best launch is somewhere around 2000 -2500 for you as long as wheel spin isn't a major issue
