I never get grip even launching on Dunlop x22's, best way is to feather the clutch out slower and it may help to reduce some wheel spin but it never does for me

You are running a little over standard power though......

How much over standard?

I launch 517 on toyo t4rs just normal road tyres and it is fine?

11.6 1/4 mile
1.8 60ft

In the wet, and on a crappy old tarmac surface without any grip juice etc like pod

Its all down to set up and driver really, I've never had an issue with it.

I.

I'm not sure as it has never been on the rollers. It maxed 1000cc injectors out before and I now have 1300cc ones fitted running 2.3 bar to the redline. At a guess I would say 680bhp? maybe more?


I have tried launching on Goodyear f1's and the car just stood still spinning all the wheels
