what are our engine best speeds to race at?
like the title says, i would really like to know 
what are our engine best speeds to race at? (55k)
I mean from a dig?
20-40 upwards?
1/4 mile?
to click the kick down button or not?
what gears are the strongest?
From what i have red here, most say to keep it in auto (s) and let it do the business, even use comfort suspension
also to drive it with engine cold or worm?
i believe i heard a few people like to refer to it as cars sweet spots?

Best speeds: Any speed from 30mph till 100mph
I would say start from second gear
If you start from a dig you might lose some time spinning the tires
Better not to race on those summery days of kuwait 140 Fareheits!! lol

heat soak is basically when the motor runs hot, this happens on back to back full throttle runs...it's more apparent on blower cars b/c of the extra heat created by the superchargers...the computer will pull timing dependent upon the cars temperature, therefore you'll have less power
Thanks for the explanation

no problem...im sure there's a way to devise a water injection system that could keep the temps down a little, just havent had one to work on yet...at least that's what we do with mustangs, corvettes, etc

Got no idea on these things
And not willing to let anybody play with it... mind you dubi seems to have the business. Any one have an experience with the dubi tuners?
