my launch I keep falling on my face on. my reaction times are not horrible but shortly after i just crumble.

60-2.396

1/8-9.761 76mph

1/4- 14.831 96.86

im launching about 3k-3500. I shift at about 8k and I think im loosing everything in my launch. I keep sputtering and chugging. any advice at all?

thanks del val crew!

launching that low i seemed to bog,deff try and launch a little higher..are you on the stock clutch?

you need to launch about 2-2.5 RPMS higher, you are doing more damage to your diff at those low rpm launches. launch higher with slight wheel spin and you should be ok

Launch at 5.5-6k rpms and floor it. It'll spin and should hook up around 8k rpms, then shift into second and your golden; thats how a managed a 1.9 60' on SO2s with a stock s2k

Definitely need to launch higher around 6000, less if the track isn't so good, more if it is stickier. You need wheelspin with every drag car, but it is vital in the S2000 because it doesn't make enough torque to recover.

Mr. Francesco

Forget drag racing and start auto x'ing and tracking

s2000 isn't made to hit anything better than 13.9's out of the box.

You need to launch right above the vtec point so that once you start going the revs won't fall to low to where it takes time to get back into vtec. Also, you have to redline every single shift. Don't shift at 9k, shit after 9k when the light comes on.

You should be shifting at 9k. As said before if youre bogging off the line rev it up more when you launch. What track do you race at?

Mr. Francesco

probably atco.

Zippy

What he said, this is a car that goes around corner much better than 1/4 mile.

I actually have a BIGGER interest in the cone course I have competed several times... im actually competing tommorow!!!

ok def launching higher up in the 6k to 7k range now then.

thanks guys... any tire psi reco's???

i raced at atco twice now 14.8's both times... I just want to keep beating my buddys crx si with a b16 thats running a higher 14.8 then me... we've grown up together and its been nothing but fun racing him.
