Don't start rolling?

I think he means have the pedal just below where it begins to disengage. I've always gone on the second yellow btw.

There's three yellows then a green right? That's a pro-tree? It's been a while since I've gone, but I'm sure I've always went on the second yellow. I react really slow to things though, so I guess it depends on the driver.

My guess was a 16.4 when it was N/A, probably much slower than that yet. I'm saying going from 16s, to near 13s is a little harder car to drive. LOL.


Pro-tree is staged, then top yellow, green.

delay box for the pro tree jab the button as soon as the first red comes on then time your shiftlight for the best reaction time. we had a reaction time contest at the local strip buy in 10 bucks and winner got 250. i walked out of that bitch with 250

man, I'm pretty confused too. I JUST turbo'd my 94 civic ex with the z6, it was doing a 16.2 NA, and as of the first tim eto the track last night with it(mind you a TON of Bugs,Problems,Headaches to work out!)and could only do a best of 16.5 ET's but at like 89mph, instead of my old 16.2@83 sooo... , I'm used to High Comp. NA ls/vtec's not a boosted setup. I tried to sit there and pop the throttle at the lights so as to spool the turbo and not get lag, i got about a psi or 2psi right off the go, but had No traction issues taking off or between shifts... but that could be inpart from only being turbo for a week, with NO tinign really yet other than a conservative tune, and running 205/40/17's not tryin to jack the thread but going along with the post, any reccomendations?

^^^ It's cool bro, that's why I posted. I knew others would have questions, too. Still wondering about the slipping of 2nd and 3rd. Do you slip so it spins a little or none at all? Rawr, I wish I knew what you meant. LOL. Push this button, at the red, I'm reading it going "What button? Red light? You jumped too soon then." LOL. Please explain a little better. Thanks!
