Also the best bet would be to get semi-slicks .. And yes pls do buy a zex or a NOS kit preferably single nozzle as at the most u will be going in for a 50 shot only .. Well there is no hard rule for a perfect launch .. It depends on car to car basis .. So u need to practise atleast a million times each time varying the parameters such as revvs , clutch & accelerator usage etc .. Practise alone makes a man near to perfect .. So get urself a pretty well rubberised road and start the launch practises .. Time each of ur launches like 0-100 each time varying the parameters mentioned earlier .. See what u find the best and strike a balance .. This is what i was thought by someone and it certainly did help me .. Might help u as well .. |
at 7500 rpm it was too much of power for th tyres to hold, |

isnt the current record 9.8 by samuel stephenson on a 12r? dont think 9 is possible man,unless the bike is fully blown. |
Hey GTO do you still have that Gtech Pro ? That would be the best thing to check for launch practice. |
