Master__Shake_Regardless of circuit or drag tuning, the optimum transmission setup is to have gear spread evenly across the transmission, getting tighter as they get further to top gear. Like this pic:
If you stretch one too far and shrink another, it will cause shift lag somewhere in the powerband and mess up the race. If you want to eliminate a shift, you stretch the transmission far enough so that the 2nd-to-last gear is where you cross the 400m mark. Either that, or short-shift to 2nd or 3rd - depending on your launch gear.
Doesn't take a genius to see this guy either raced completely stock cars or has parts he shouldn't. I'm pretty sure a stock horsepower gallardo could do low 10s with just a transmission and suspension tune. Hell, I made a ZR1 with stock horsepower do 10.3s without a single horsepower mod, and that's RWD with tirespin.
I understand what you are talking about. Trust me it worked pretty good (But only on a few cars). I understand the proper transmission setup. I was pointing out that he might have been using that method.
Oh yeah I know. The cars had to be around stock, if he was beating them legitimately. If not then like you said, he might have had parts on there.
I guess I can go test and see if stage four and five engine can be applied to that car (which I highly doubt). I know stage four and five weight can be added on everything (which doesn't take off that much weight, depending on the car). Besides that part multiplier or those super soft tires.
