1st transbreake launch

[no-nos]

well launched my car for the very first time on my transbreake, but i only left with 2lbs of boost:redface: , i know thats nothing but it sounds like alot when the car is reving, am i doing it right as far as launching the car at 2 then 5, then 8lbs of boost to get used to the feel is there a better way

 

[Junior Samples]

your car scares me just sitting still..id hate to be up next to it during an 8# launch

 

[Grumpy]

we use Melissa's on the street to "practice" so ya get use to it..

 

[V8Assassin]

there's no feeling quite like letting go of the button! At 8 psi you'll think all hell is breaking loose!!!!

18lbs,

 

[fastdon3]

18 / 20 lbs of boost what was your rpm on your launch

 

[GNRick]

Maybe a little unrelated....how much boost with a t-brake can you launch on drag radials?

 

[scot w.]

I left on 15lbs of boost with a 70 gtq and it was like getting hit by a freight train!!

It is fun!! :biggrin:

Donnie Brooks was standing right next to the drivers front tire when it left. He said it was crazy!

With no tire spin? Do you remember what your 60' was?

Yeah it had some tire spin and it screwed up my 60' times (1.60's) :frown: BUT I was using 28"x9" slicks and the didn't like the hit! :biggrin:

Thanks to the trans brake, i will never launch off a footbrake in anything again.

1.33 so far, aiming for consistant 1.27-1.28s this year.
