Other then that your really not going to find anything to make you take off faster.
about 7 out of 10 times in a race with a non honda I get beat off the line but I catch up fast and are usually up to pace into 2nd gear.
if you do get nirtious DO NOT USE IT UNDER 3k you will not get off the line AT ALL! |
That only works if you wanna blow your differential in a couple of tries (I thought about doing it but luckily my friend was there to talk me out of it)...But, for a better, safer alternative that will achieve almost the same result (and will be much better than w/o it), you put your left foot on the brake. Keep your right over the gas. Then, with the brake depressed, you give your car some gas (not anything to burn out on, mind you) and then you gradually lift up on the brake until about half way. Continue to give the car the same amount of gas, and then let go of the brake entirely while simultaneously flooring the gas. It's really cool and I've done it dozens of times. FYI, this will still put some stress on your tranny, just not nearly as much.
Now don't get me wrong, if you can then swap it to a manny tranny because doing the aforementioned steps are in no way good for your car. But, having to replace some brake pads and occasionally a new rotor is better than replacing the whole differential/valve body.
