lee060 3 Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 as Eat This said launch in second would be the same ratio as makin first do 60 Link to post Share on other sites
markiev6 1 Posted December 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 dumping the clutch at 7000rpm in second would distroy 2nd gear so not gonna go that route Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 do it gently then lol seriously though even if you get a stupidly long fd or something to make 1st gear the same ratio as 2nd your gonna be putting the same stress through the transmision anyway Link to post Share on other sites
lee060 3 Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 get your gear changes quicker! quickshift? , twin plate or sports clutches? anything that helps even driving lessons jk . gears are there for a reason to get you in the power-band quickly and keep you there . start in second and not ride the clutch it will bog down big time (due to dropping out of the power-band!) totally destroying 0-60 time ,to avoid this youd have to not let the clutch completely of and keep the revs high do this and you will need a clutch pretty damn soon lol but its 60 u want in 1st then have fun Link to post Share on other sites
