Now, I was going through dpartinvr4's thread http://www.3sgto.org/f2/my-quest-pro...-man-3936.html and reading about you guys bitch about launching...(Also take it easy on a brother, it even says quest in the title so you know its going to be a little while But this is why I havent posted a hype thread about my build .)
I figured I would start a thread about it, as I am curious as to what you guys think and how you all launch your cars.
Now, in my opinion, its all about how you let the clutch out. Its also about getting tension on the drivetrain before you "dump" it or however you do it. You cant just take something with slack and put a ton of pressure on it, obviously its going to break. Now I may be wrong here in saying people do this, but I know Ive seen videos of people racing like this. Maybe they just dont think about it or care. I know when I finally get to the track, I will be building pressure to my drivetrain by either holding the e-brake or having my heel on the brake peddle. How many of you do this? Also who uses two-step? I havent had a chance to experience it, but it seems like a nice feature to have. /discuss
Funny story about breaking shit. Age of 16, still learning to drive (Im still learning to drive at nearly 21 ), I cracked the crank in two spots and spun bearings in my aunts 350 4-speed 1969 Corvette . Now it may not be all my fault as her ex boyfriend beat on the car too..... But I thought I was so bad ass doing burnouts and donuts, but since then, Ive learned you dont just dump the clutch with slack in the drivetrain. Heh, go ahead and make fun .
HellBringer , please enlighten me as to how you achieve wheelspin . Also, do you think 670ft/lbs clutch is overkill for my goal of 600AWHP..?
ps: This car is beating the shit out of me financially. But I love it.
