hows the response on the black compared to the red? Keep rippin it

 

Ryu, can you give any advice on launching? I understand if you don’t want to give up your secrets; but it seems you have had great success with what you are doing and haven’t broke any drivetrain parts. any help would be greatly appreciated. (I suck at launching)

 

Quite surprisingly well. The combination that I am running now with the Black so far is night and day difference from my Red combo in FAVOR of the Black. With the changes made, the off boost response down low feels almost like a stroker now, not to mention part throttle in 4th gear I am seeing positive pressure in the low 2,000's rpm range. It really is unreal how much better this combination is spooling. If the drastic increase in response is any indication of how the rest of the powerband is going to increase, this is going to be a killer combo.

No secrets really. Just make sure you preload your drivetrain while staging up, hit the 2step, and quick slip the clutch. It's something you need to get a feel for.

 

how do you preload your drivetrain?

 

When I hit the first staging light I creep the car foward by letting out the clutch a bit until im fully staged. No throttle.

 

some people pull the e brake on the first light and then let it creep to the second and when launching release the e brake...i haven't tried it yet myself though so i'm not too sure how well it works.

 

I'm aware of that method, but I have never found myself ever needing the Ebrake to help preload the drivetrain.

 

So when you say preload the drivetrain, are you holding the clutch pedal so that the clutch is at like 1% into the friction zone while youre 2stepping?? Doesnt that get you to start rolling forward while staged??

Or by pre-load are you holding the clutch pedal just before where the clutch begins to grab so when you begin your launch there is no dead zone in the pedal?

 

Bingo.

 

Ryu, you don't use your brakes to stop when staging?

 

Yes I do. As soon as im fully staged I push the clutch in and hit the brake. Then I get off the break and hold the clutch just out of engagement.

 

Im with this guy.
