Santa Pod

Hi all

Im off to santa pod on sunday...not for the first time,but first for my standard MCS

I will be up against a couple of pals,both driving golf TDI's but chipped up to 290 torque,so might be a close one.
Any idea at what revs i should be holding for the best launch...obviously with my traction control off.

Thnx

Sorry, don't know about the revs (I'm sure some of the more experienced guy's on here will know), just wanted to wish you good luck. Keep us informed on the outcome, I might have to take mine to the next RWYB.

Nice one mate, how did you get on against the TDI's ?

Did you figure out the best launch rpm ?

Give me a shout when the next rwyb is on, I'm getting tempted to take my Hartge powered S up there. I've been going to the Pod for donkey's years as a spectator, I'm sure it's a hell of a lot different when your'e sitting there looking at the xmas tree waiting for the green light.

Beat one of them...he got 15.700 for 1/4 mile and the other guy got 15 sec run...both of them had a revo remap to 290 torque...so quite rapid once going

Best launch for me was 3,000 rpm...bit of wheel spin,but managed the best time for me at this...

Yeah i will be going up again but getting some mods done first,just gotta decide which company to use first,GTT is close for me so might use them.
