I was wondering what you guys are doing when hitting a 2.2 I have only done a 2.355 and no better how are you guys launching with stock wheels and tires and what psi thanks

 

[bored132]

25 psi in the front, 45 in the rear. Rev to 4000 rpms, ease off the clutch and ease onto the gas.

 

[jonnydoe48]

i think the main point is to feather the clutch, but make sure its 3K+ or the launch will be weak.

 

[bored132]

yeah feather the clutch, that's the words i was looking for

 

[SirJaime]

YA YA YA ! Thats the ticket

whats the smallest rims you can put on a MSP? big rims with skinny ass tires dont help.... i would THINK if you could put like a 15x8 rim on with some fatter tires to reduce some "bounce" it would help alot... i know alot of people with 17x8, 18x8 rims on GP's that slow down alot in the 1/4 and 60's are like .3 + slower... i myself, will be going from stock 16x6.5 rims and getting a set of 15x8 rims from a mustang to use... i borrowed a set with DR's and only launched at 1700RPM and got on it after a few feet with no burnout what so ever to warm them up and got a 1.995.. but i have a auto and just a totally different car... just ideas... i want to see the guy i work with pull 2.0x 60's in his MSP without slicks if possible.. just some "Drag day" rims and decent tires...

i may be gettin a set of lenso 13x7.5" rims...depends on how bad my 60 ft is

 

[jersey_emt]

13's won't clear the brakes...you need at least 15" wheels on an MSP.

The brakes are larger than the regular Protege.

i pulled a 2.1 60 ft with stock tires at 30psi....lauching at 1500-2000rpms....gotta be sure not to let the rpms go higher than 2000 and drop the clutch my car hops a couple of times and then just starts pulling

 

[mp3moose]

I thought the brakes were the same as regular protege.

 

[t3ase]

I thought the brakes were the same as regular protege.

As I recently found out... No, they are not.

 

[alexlitov]

They are slightly larger, just like MP3 once are

You just dumped the clutch, and got an excellent 60'? Was it a fluke occurence or can you do it consistently this way?

I was looking into getting p5 rims and slapping nitto's on for the track. How you like dem apples?

already done it and they work great

 

[MSP Chris]

what are your 60 ft's like? As well how is traction and overall driving quality down the track?
