just go to a search engine and type in something like integra 1/4 mile racing tips etc... or the quick search up top, thats what it is for :bigthumb:

good idea, but those didn't list the shift points. (but hey, atleast someone else here agrees that ppl should do a search 1st.)
back to topic. for me, i rev my car to 8000rpm, then 2nd an 3rd rev it up to jus under the rev limitor (around 8300).
it works pretty nicely for me, but make sure not to bounce off of the limitor, u'll lose a couple tenths of a second right there.
as for launches, at the track an on the street are a lot different.
for street, i launch low, like around 2500 rpm, because most of the time, if u start to spin on the street, u'll spin through 2nd (atleast for me).
but i had to learn that the track was stickier, an so i now launch around 4500-5000 rpm for the track. it takes some time to get used to it, but jus let them spin an rev up in 1st, shift to 2nd, an u'll see much better times. don't let urself get bogged down like me in 1st.
