Well I will be going out to bandimere in Denver Colorado here in the next couple of weeks with some friends.

What are some tips you guys can give me? The main thing I want to know is what RPM are people launching at, and are you dropping the clutch at that those rpms?

I would really love to get into the 13's but I don't see it happening because of the altitude. I have seen modded Z's here run 15's because of this altitude. Its about 6k ft above sea level how much is that going to affect my times?

 

Your avatar is telling.

 

You should post in the Southwest section, a number of our Colorado memebers drag race. I don't, so I can't help. For me, it's all about the curves

 

Ill try, a number of times when I post there I hardly get any responses, I was hoping they would find it here.

 

Different people launch at different RPM's. You have to find what works for you and your car. It's probably a good idea to start launching somewhere around 2500 RPM's and adjust as necessary from there. You can launch at higher RPM's and let the clutch out slower to help with wheel spin, but at the same time you are putting a lot more strain on your clutch. I had my pedal stick to the floor launching at higher RPM's on the stock clutch last night (probably because the fluid got too hot), which totally ruined that run.

In general, if your wheels are spinning then either let the clutch out slower or lower the launch RPM. If your car is bogging then let the clutch out faster or raise the RPM. It's a "feel" thing. Track and vehicle variables change so much that there isn't a "one way" that's going to work perfect everytime on stock tires.
