Yesterday my reaction times were good and all but my launch overall sucked, i would spin my tires for like a second then shift into 2nd. i am basically stock except for the airflow mods, for a little extra boost. i started launching at about 3500rpm, then over the course of the night i was around 3000 rpm, but everytime after i dropped the clutch i would spin them like nutz, then i would just shift so i could actually move. i lowered my tired pressure on front to about 26 and i have stock rims with decent tires. the first time i was at the track i felt i wasnt slipping as much. does anyone know what is goin wrong? thanx!

In a FWD you need to slip the clutch off the line quite a bit. Just enough to keep the tires from going up in smoke. Sidestepping it will only cause tire spin. Brian who from CDSM? This is Ron.

Thats one theory, learning what RPM to dump at works too. Find what works for you.
