But i will have a go again asap! And post up my results... And as i mentioned earlier for the fuel thing i am just basing it off with something more practical you know. For those who just want to fill up using only but 91. Becsuse i know in some places its hard to get abything over 91 unless you are at the track. But that's how im looking at it.
They do not use traction control, because they actually LAUNCH the car.

See wheelspin, is a good thing for times, when it's done the right way with the right amount.

Too much, and your times are slowed down, no wheelspin and the car is slower.

So if you are just flooring it from a dead stop, you will not have ideal times like the mags and 4.9 of the tuner. If you have an auto, you will need to brake torque to load the tq convertor, about 2500-3100rpms. If you have a 6mt, you will need to drop or side step the clutch after 2500rpms or so.
