My car 60ft sucks balls. Odi managed 12.9. Vbox was 12.7 unofficial

Issue is if you have manual then lsd is a must. If a launch heads up with auto, the auto always out launches me.

Het Vbox on your car preferably during day and see what your 60ft and 1/4mile is.

Maybe try and launch car using brake boost. Found that brake boost launches better than launch control. Also 1st and 2nd maybe change a bit later as you have advantage of in gear torque multiplication.

On stock turbos I ran 12.3 at Tarlton with full weight. Making around 385whp.
With the RB's again full weight I ran 11.9 and around 435whp.

On the 1km I ran 251 on the stock turbos with 420whp.

If you dont get your 60ft down to 1.7 sec or lower you going to battle to run good times so its all in the launch and not really in the power. Best I have pulled is a 1.6 60ft but on that run I peeled the tires at the top of second so it ruined a run that looked like it was heading in the mid 11's.

Geez you can peddle a car...

what sort of tires were on? that LSD seems to be worth its weight in gold...

best 60ft i ever got was 1.9 something...

please explain what you mean by peeled the tire? whats your launch technique?

Mickey Thompson ET Street 275/40/17. I break boost at around 2000rpm and take off with half throttle. With stock turbos I could go foot flat about half way in first and with RB usually down to three quarter. The car does not build full boost in first anyway.

On the manual you got to burn the clutch a bit holding the car with the handbrake. It will give same affect as auto brake torquing.

I have never been outlaunched by an auto.
As George said, you need to break boost with a manual as well, but be quick on it otherwise you burn your clutch out very quickly.
