going to the track! ? ? ?

OK Going to the track this Saturday and try out my toy and it's toys. I am running Matt's Ultra Comp Street, Do I need the Race file or is this good enough. How about rpm's for launch in 4 hi. I was told to switch out of 4 hi around third gear! Should I? Any other helpful tips? Thanks

Launches just take practice. You want enough boost that you don't bog down coming out of the hole, but you don't want to just sit and spin the tires either. Try 10psi first and adjust from there. It won't do you any good to switch out of 4x4 during your run since the load has to be removed for it to disengage. Remember to leave with the 3rd yellow light comes on. If you wait for the green you're late!!! Good luck and have fun.

I have stock tires and the same tune. It works best for me to be in 4hi, launch at 15-18lbs of boost, and keep it to the floor! Have fun
