Cool Next dumb question

So got the tyers sorted out (thanks gang)
So what is the differance between Stalling the car,as to Flash stalling it
. (Note to self should have stuck with me mate manwell, rev dump n run )
I run a 2800 stall which just holds at 2600 leaning on the foot n hand brake .
I need to get me little 6 into the 13s before I think about Wheesering it

Search the clevo threads for this sort of thing, or search the forum in general, I think this has been covered a few times.

Whoosa. If you can hold it to 2600 on the brake, it will flash to about 3200 when you take off.. Put a camera in car and watch next time.
I cant get mine past 3000 on the brake, but flash stall is about 4000. changed to a fully synthetic fluid and now about 4200. Still not enough, need 4800.
I set my camera to see whats going on.

Also a lot of racers will hold the engine on the line below the stall point and run the revs up to the stall as they take off.

G'day mate here is my experience ... I have a 4000 stall yet my best 60ft holding it at 4000 is 2.00 with 275 ET /Streets ..

My best on 215/60 x 16 Yokies is 1.90 - 60ft..Leaving at 2000 and hitting it !

It helps if ya can pedal it as well these things can be real monsters to get off the line cleanly ...

Turbo cars generally " Stall " it up to build/create boost . Flashing is generally used on NA cars to Pull or Throw the car out of the hole .
