going on 1/4 mile...good tricks???

[davidlizard]

hey! this morning I 'm going to the 1/4mile with my B6 USP 6 speed Quattro.
For now I'm stock with stage 1+. I want to compare stock time with my future mods. Do you have any tricks for me as: max rpm shift, start, fuel, octane booster, tire pressure, How much time should I expect??

when i went i was lanching at about 5k with my clutch.. shifting right at about 6900RPM and was able to put down many 2.0/2.1 60s and my best time was a 15.3 i beleive.

dont 1.8's make start to drop boost at like 6000 even? i usually shift quite abit earlier than 6900, but i'm not an experience driver, so idk...

I wouldnt go past 5200RPM

Also, try and aim for a 1.9 60'....I achieved a 2.0 60" on a 100% stock car, so a 1.9 or less is defiently ahievable

Run your tires at 45psi, then if you are getting too much wheel spin just start decreasing them by 5psi at a time.

Try to stage as shallow as possible, do this by just putting on the pre-stage light(first bulb) then just barely bump the car in to turn on the stage light. This will help your 60 ft time and ET.

Bounce the rpms up and down between 2k-5k, then on a down swing of the rpms go WOT and release the clutch at 4k-4500. You will want to take 1st gear to 6k and then shift around 5500 for the rest of the gears. You can also go by feel when the car starts to slow down or even watch your speedo, shifting when it starts to stall since you want to keep the speedo pulling smoothly all the way thru the run.
