I went to a local 1/8 mile track tonight. I used the MGW shifter and M/T D/R's for the 1st time. The M/T's are mounted on stock 19" wheels. The shifter worked great. I never missed a gear power shifting. My 60ft times were awful. I was experimenting with the 2 step with out any success. My best 60ft was 1.96. I didn't use the 2 step on that pass. I just feathered the clutch. I was trying to do a burnout but the 2 step was screwing it up. In retrospect it might be because I put my left foot on the brake lightly to hold the car in the water. I think when my foot tapped the brake it re engaged the 2 step and killed the RPM. So I adjusted the 2 step to 6000 rpm. I then forgot to take the traction control off and it bogged again. Next pass I finally got an okay burnout and luckily the guy in the other lane took forever to stage. So I readjusted the 2 step down to 3500 rpm for the launch. I had dropped the air pressure from 25psi to 18 psi as well. At a 3500 launch with 18 psi the car bogged with a 2:3 60 ft.
If you suffered thru this dissertation my question is: Has anyone had any success with the factory 2 step and the drag strip? Any suggestions? Next time I will take the silver key as well.
