eastern creek qtr mile

pechs2k · 05-01-2012, 12:34 AM

hello all,

taking my car out for a quarter mile run, car has procede.

whats the recommended launch revs to acheive best traction and take off speed?

appreciate the advise

I don't own a 135i and I suck at launching (lol), but I would imagine there are other factors that would need consideration. Like type of tyres, and tyre pressures. You might have to play around a bit with the revs. I found a 6k dump worked best on my car (so far). What works for me may not work for you.

There's a few good drag racing guys here like MrBlonde, hopefully they'll provide more help than I'm able to.

Good luck at the drags!

See Mr Blondes drag thread. Pretty comprehensive tutorial info in that.

Biggest things to consider are tyre type, and auto/manual?

Whatever you do, don't stall it, hahaha THAT would be embarrassment IMO.

It's a good start. Try it. You'll have a few runs on the night.

If you're going to launch at 4k rpm with a manual you better be riding that clutch like a mofo...
