ok, who was the one holding it at the rev limiter FOREVER, if that was you, that may have been your problem lol, if your tires are spinnin, let off gas then back on and you might get traction, and it did sound like you bogged down when you shifted, when you shift, get the RPM's up a lil before you let back off the clutch that way you dont bog down as bad

wow all i hear is rev limiter, sounds like a couple misshifts. not sure cuz it is always hard to tell which car its comming from. And dont go through the water box, go around it. i made that mistake a couple times as well. Sounds like you really bogged the launch as well like you where hitting of the rev limiter and dropped the clutch way to quick.

i didnt hit limiter though, but i did shift kinda iffy. i didnt pay attention to the bog if i did bog, but now i look and it seems i bogged. hmm idk, what you guys think i could do?

well someone hit rev limiter hella bad at launch and held it there, and for the bogging, make sure you dont pop the clutch too fast and make sure your boost is built up, keep steady launching rpm and when you let off the clutch, if your tires dont spin, floor it... just practice your shifting too, its all about timing

the biggest thing to improve on is the 60ft. Ideal for that is 1.8 but as long as you can get around a 1.9 thats a good improvement.
