i ran better in my b16 rex........just cuz i have advans doesn't mean ur going to run faster.....i mean u should with meat like that but it's all about control.........are you launching hi an spinning or bogging out

before you hit the track again.....u should practice ur launches an keep your shifts smooth and don't overthink anything.....when i started hitting up the track when i was young i would get all nervous an excited an run crap times.....took some time and practice but eventually you find your sweet spot for launching and shift points......what tranny you running

remember just cuz u shift your car at redline doesn't mean your still in your powerband.....---- depending on your setup you could be dropping out of it by the time you come up to redline....trap time is key...

I have more fun with the build than the track time but seriously 14.7? do i need to beat the ---- out of it more?
Why would a speed sensor have to do with vtak?

You have to be going XX mph to have a VTAK attack. No lie, the ECU looks for it.

Well this is part of your problem. You should never have to ask if you are raping it hard enough, because there is no such thing...

With 2.2 60' launching isn't the issue here. The issue and concern is WHY you're trapping such low speeds.....
