Goin to Englishtown for the first time this saturday, aug. 28th. I'm goin down with James and a few other people. I'm expecting mid-to low 15's. i plan on removing the seats (all except the driver's, obviously), as well as the jack + spare. removing all those will save me approx. 84 lbs. anybody have any other tips for a first-timer? what RPM to launch at, etc.?

first time...woohoo! ...nice...its gonna be awesome...honestly the jack and the spare really arent going to effect your times that much...but it looks like you're stripping the whole damn thing so you might as well...i personally just dont like being without a spare haha...i think your launch is going to depend on 3 things...your car's weight, LSD or not LSD, and what kind of tires you'll be using...i have an open 3.08...which is what im assuming you have?...and i run street tires...so i dont have to worry much about wheel spin...however...i found that if i launched at 1500rpms i did get a tiny bit...which wont hurt you that much...but i like to get a nice biting launch...so i lowered it to 1200 and found that to be perfect...and i have no rear seats or subs but i do have the jack/spare...a trip i had this weekend got cancelled so i might even be down there myself [img]smile.gif[/img]<b>12 SECOND DUAL STAGE DRY NITROUS POWERED 98 A4 V6 CAMARO<br /><a href=\"http://www.mysickcamaro.50megs.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.MySickCamaro.50megs.com</a><br />Best ET: 12.82@103<br />Best MPH: 104.7<br />Best 60\': 1.75 - Stock TC</b><br /> </font><blockquote><font size=\"1\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif\">quote:</font><hr /><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif\">Originally posted by Shodown:<br /><strong>1DV6 runs 12\'s...enough said. </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif\">
