whats better? DSC or DTC off for launching

jlcf22 · 07-11-2013, 11:36 PM

I'm going to hit the drag strip tomorrow, but just wanted to know from some of you guys who have experience, so which one would be better to turn off the dynamic traction control (DTC) or completely turn off everything by turning off the dynamic stability control (DSC)? or it doesn't make a difference for launching? also for the guys with cobb should i go with linear or stock throttle? thanks

Turn everything completely off and practice your launches.

+1. I use stock throttle, it's kind of a personal preference...shouldn't affect your ETs.

I had a bad experience last time hitting up my local 8th mile track. I'm completely FBO with regular street tires; and it seemed like no matter what I did, my tires would not gain traction all the way down the strip. I've tried all three options, DSC, DST, and having it fully engaged. I think the next thing I need is drag tires. However, depending how many times you get to run your car, I'd give all three options a try and see what's the best time you can get.

everything off.

street tires will be hard to hook, and will be hard to get under a 1.8-9 60'

get drag radials for better launches. 135i cut a 1.54 60' on MickeyTs
