Jake Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Those aren't bad times for a NA. If it's a TT you don't need RLTC you need some decent tyres and/or a lot more practice at launching. You aren't running 19" wheels and tyres by any chance, are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Good for on the road fun, not sure for serious 1/4 mile runs though! Like Jake said you probably just need some decent tyres. All it does is hold the revs at a fixed set level, which is good fun. For instance I've got mine set at 3000rpm. I stop the car and then press the launch button, put your foot on the accelerator - press it down anyway from 3000rpm to the redline and it will hold it at 3000rpm. Let the clutch out and you're off!!!!! The RLTC is great at sensing the wheelspin and controling engine power to reduce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 surely 14.1 is an amazing time for an NA?? would of expected high 14s at best from the NA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adi2009 Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I think he is talking about a TT. havent heard of NA's doing 14.1 . like 'hadyn' said high 14's could be the best from NA's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 No NA would finish with a low 14 sec run and a 108 terminal speed, thats faster terminal than most stock TT's and even some BPU tts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 he has a tt sounds like he needs some practice launching a 6 speed. maybe he giving it too many revs off the line. keep trying lower revs see what works best. in auto i found 2000 revs was good on stock stall do a search for all the posts he has made comes up with below Hi guys just bought my first supra a 1993 jap twin turbo 6 speed manual and would like some advice on what to upgrade first and what makes you think are best eg exhaust size and make filter or...
