Yea a 16.9 in the 1/4 with nitrous sounds pretty weak...

You don't need slicks... you just need to not launch with nitrous. Thats the silliest thing to do in the world. rolleyes.gif The power that the Tib's already short first gear puts down and then you stick a large nitrous shot on top of it... you can't expect to get traction with a FWD on street radials.

lol....yeah she spins alot.........I tryed swithcing it on at about the 1/8 mile and the tires just light up there to...its crazy I have a video of it the smoke just starts rolling off the tires I NEED SLICKS

definatly need to work on your launch then...

Neutral drops are not only bad for your transmission. They also shock your axles, wheel bearings, and even the engine itself as it goes from free spinning to connected with no damping of the shock load. Worst case scenerio, you could also rip out your engine mounts along with destroying the transmission, axles, and wheel bearings.

lol sorry for not say about the time of the focus with nitrous, he run with 75 shot of nitrous 14.925.

without ntrous his best run was 16.90.

do you say that I switch my power on ( of the nitrous? ) and turn off the OD. what is the difference between this?

could you tell me how do you make your start? i mean from the line? you use the #1 ? or some other trick? lol
and what other mods do you have in your car?

thanks

If you are talking about what I think you are, me and zoned had this discussion. That switch supadupa is talking about isnt on the RD2 as far as I know.

Here is a pic of the RD1, notice the switch to the right of the shifter


Here is a pic of an RD2 without that switch

sharkev

ohh. i see it, and what is the funtion of that switch?
why the RD2 doesnt have it?

brake torquing does nothing to your transmission (except heat up the fluid as random said.)
neutral dropping is bad.

for the best times with an automatic tib, use the launch technique that random suggested and keep your ECT on power and your overdrive switch off. also, sport-shifting (L - 2 - D) is bad for your tranny and isn't any faster than letting your tranny shift itself.

Like randon and couple other people said:

Neutral drop is very bad! Don't do it!
Power braking is fine!

Shifting auto will do no good. You will just loose yourself and will possible be hitting redline. Just put it into drive.

Your stock auto tib should be somewhere in mid 17s. You will not beat your buddy.


Guys please stay on topic smile.gif

ok, thanks, i will not do that drop from neutral, and i guess i dont have ECT, ( i have a RD2 ), and what I saw, that switch only has the RD1.

i will try to go to try another time before I buy the nitrous in my car to see what time can I make with this new style to lanch.
