You kinda answered your own question.

PS. Bench racing isnt any fun.

Isnt Calder Park no drags this month as Bobs fixing up the track or some other shit (prolly filling pot hole with all the dirt hes got around or making bigger dirt mounds)?

are you guys even reading what this thread is about? SOME HELPFUL TIPS? like tyre pressure? Sussy setup? what rpm to launch at?

I was stating out my mates time as an example of what times should i be getting. Obviously you guys cant read! If you guys have nothing better to post, then dont do it at all!!

what tyres? street tyres around 20psi

Sussy setup generally for drag you want soft front and hard rear.

RPM to launch you need to find whats best. For b18c we found 5k to be a sweet spot with sticky tyres.

as fatboyz39 said

depending on what tyres your using around 18-20psi in the fronts and it doesnt hurt to run 40psi in the rears

soften the front sussy but dont go too soft...i found that a little stiffer than soft on the fron worked better than fully soft and run your rears as hard as possible..............
yeh and lunching is pretty much depending if your feathering/riding clutch off the line or dumping(which isnt that good) so just trial and error..........i usually drop it / launch it at 7000rpm.................

p.s. good luck man, but thew next calder park is on the 2nd of may 2008
