2 step question

[Andy Friar]

[QUOTE=Rob Petrie E395;678659]Consistency in starting line RPM. I can also use it to adjust my reaction times. If I’m really amped up and can’t get out to let air out of the front tires. I can click the 2 step RPM down one or two clicks and it’ll slow my reaction times down. It’s also easier and more consistent (for me). To hold the accelerator to the floor. And just let go of the brake pedal. Vs swapping feet. I’ve been told it’s easier on the convertor but harder on valve train. So take your pick there I guess.

My Dad wants to make changes like this after 'missing' a RT. I do everything I can do to not make changes to the car for RT as I don't feel I as a human I am consistent enough to say that dropping a few PSI out of the tires or changing launch rpm is the solution. Practice and routine is always preached by the hitters that win a lot of racers. Box or No Box racers. To me changing mechanical components along with human variability just adds another variable to the equation. If it does 'work' on a few runs to get a better RT, can I then actually say it was the mechanical change or me just doing a better job? I don't feel I can make that call. Could just be my misguided theory too, as I have won nothing...
