[johanhummer9]

hey i want to know what the basics are to tune a car for drag racing.
i know to add all the tuning parts to it but not, the adjustments.

like the transmision and lsd , and the suspension downforce etc could someone help me out?

thank you , johan

EDIT: for the top gear test track

Ok, let's start with the LSD:
Accel is usually set to 60, the same for the Initial, but some guys swear that a lower Inital helps....try it!

RWD Suspension
A car with low downforce has usually a low front and a high rear.
Springs depend on the car, but a stiff front and a softer rear should work (at least for SSR7).
A "basic" damper setting is 1/10 10/1, but I wouldn't set it that extreme, especially not for the rear.
Bars aren't that important, some people like it stiff (7 is in my eyes way to high), some weak.
In general, you don't really need any camber for a RWD car. You can experiment with it and maybe you'll find something.
Toe is a bit difficult. For Indy, you need a certain amount of toe for a better launch. But it really depends on the car. For SSR7, you normally want as less toe as possible, cause it makes your top speed worse.

Transmission
Use the tranny trick aka final gear trick.
Wheelspin in first gear is usually not a bad thing.

Sorry, I'm in hurry and have no time to help you more. Maybe tomorrow!

Transmission Trick one of the worst possible things you could use. Most cars launch better in second gear.

slashfan he's talking about SSR7, and You never start in second gear on that track except the speed 12. Without the tranny trick on SSR7 You WILL lose.

This is why I wish people would specify what track they drag on.

Actually, regardless of what track, the lower gear you start in the better. Tranny trick does wonders...

Agreed.... 👍 and a bit of mixing the gear setup with Praiano's basic gear setup would also help 💡

Top Gear Test Track is a balance between Indy and SSR7. At TGTT you want to have a wicked acceleration and the 6th gear to top out somewhere just after the white line about 800m away. This track allows the balance of the big SSR7 boys (Enzo, Viper, GT No Stripe, Speed 12) to mix it with Indy's best (ZZII, R35 GTR, Le Mans Quattro) and wind up with a pretty even finish.

Focus on acceleration first then focus on your top end through your gearbox and drivetrain tuning, and finally the suspension.

I've always wanted to have meet up there but it never happened

GME, slump, onboy all the other big shots at SSR7 and I'll get some of us Indy tuners to meet up there... to decide the best tuner of all time

I alays thought it was better to top just before the white line and then brake at the white line to stop before slamming into the wall...

Some people race wall to wall, so you have to take that into account. Easy rule, first one to smash the wall wins. 👍

I hope you are kidding, the tranny trick is a must on most of the cars, and you should use as manny gears as possible if im not wrong. "Most cars launch better in 2nd gear", well it depends on how long/short your 2nd gear is mate.


...back to the drawing board dawg

Excuse me?! Are you joking?! Me? Being listed as a 'pro' dragger?! Nah…I only do the Veyron, and even that's not too brilliant.

I wouldn't mind watching that drag race though
