lower the tire pressure to 22psi, launch around 6k(quickslip), and try WOT shifting(hold the gas pedal down, hit the clutch quick) from 3rd to 4th.

WOT- wide open throttle

GOOD LUCK

btw, your prolly not goin to hit 110mph with the tire pressure lowered to 22psi, but if everything goes smooth with what i wrote up above, you'll see a better time...........guaranteed!

If you want 110 run stock tire pressure and shift lower.

thats something i forgot to tell you. u should be shifting right at 7k, some say 6800-6900rpm, but not over 7k because that should be close to your peak power. anything over you start to lose power with your mods and stock turbo/motor.

Let it go, fix it later means just the hell with all, and let 'er rip! Don't have any worries about tranny, clutch, power shifting, etc. Just go all out on the run without a care in the world! And hopefully you will get a great time and nothing will break!...but if it does, fix it later!

At least that's what it means to me! Good luck Miguel. I wanted to go watch but I got dinner plans instead.

If I could explain it....that's exactly how I would word it. It'll always be in the back of your mind...but if you just go out and run it hard and have fun, you should see some good runs. Hopefully nothing breaks, but then again why go race if you're scared of breaking something.
