Default man I suck at driving!

Ok, I tuned my civic today and G-teched it as well, my launches suck butt!! Ok, before I went turbo I was doing a 8.8 0-60 and a 16.65 1/4 mile, with the t25 turbo at 9psi I ran a 8.1 0-60 and a 16.2 1/4 mile, I suck. I need to work on my lauches before I spend the money on going to a track. Feel free to flame me, I'm pissed at myself already!

it does absolutly nothing, it only slows you down..

some people say do it downshifting, but if you are gonna downshift just rev match.

Double clutch does nothing but ---- up and wear down your disc.

I hope you know that G-Tech is not super accurate. It is only good if you are making a baseline run and then using that as a baseline for adding or substracting parts from your car. For example, your 16.0sec is NOT indicative of the real quarter mile at the track. But your 16.0 sec time can be used as a baseline if you added for example 5 more psi... and your time drops to 15.0 sec then you know that those 5psi dropped your time by 1 sec. But 15.0 sec does still NOT say that your 1/4 time is 15.0 sec. Best way to get a 1/4 mile time is at the track.

I hope I make sense, I'm all jumbled up in the head right now and am just speaking smack right now.
