Arrow Launching in 2nd gear

Well, Yes I guess you can say I was a little bored. The other night I was thinking about this for a while. So I decided to try it today. Turned on my Navi and reset all the timers. It was mighty cold and a bit damp today.

First 3 Launches I did 0-60 at 2,500 RPM with minimal spin and was able to get 4.5 Seconds each time. in 1st gear

Well than I tried 2nd gear.

1st Try : 5,000 RPM took off and slightly let off the gas way too much due to wheel spin and got 5.6 seconds to 60.

2nd Try : Tought that I was spinging too much and brough it down to 4,000 RPM, less wheel spin but seemed to bogg out slightly before it hit higher RPMS result was 5.1 to 60.

3rd Try : I went up to 5,300 RPM and let it go it finally hooked at 30MPH and the result was insane 4.3 Seconds

4Th and finaly : 6000 RPM let it go spun a millisecond cause I played with the accel and it hooked right away. Final result was 4.0 seconds Flat. Totaly got rid of the 1-2 shift. It was insane.

I did this with the navi unit and its pretty accurate. I wanna set up the Gtech in the car and get a vid.

Well thanks for reading my pointless thread
