I completely turn off tc, stab the brake and gas and it will light them up. I have a 13 as well.

Completely do you mean Hold the brake for 5plus seconds and turn off Advancetrac? I noticed yesterday I only turnoff TC and I kit them up pretty good. That's what ill start doing from now on.

What tires where you running when you ran your 12sec pass?

Sport mode seems like its easier.

Here is how I read it....( total noob)
setting1- TC button 1 time= off
Setting2-TC button twice= off /sport mode
Setting3- adavance TC hold button for 5 sec=off

Which is the best for burnout?
Which is best for drag racing?

My experience has been setting 3 for stabs , setting 1 for lanches. Today I tried setting 2 for the first times, first I heard about it, and it felt peppier for lighting up the tires.
I have always tried burnouts in setting 3 and it was a hit or miss. I would like to settle this.

This has to be one of the most difficult charts to understand at first. Just hold button w brake on stopped a for 5 seconds and ur good. I have no issues brake torquing mine or getting spin going like 30 and hammering it.

TC off one time on mine made it do a good burnout.

Advancetrac off made it hard to do a burnout. Idk what to do for drag racing at the track. I'll experience this Saturday at the track rental.

Awesome Then I must suck at doing burnouts in a Mustang lol.

I ran mine and it ran a 13.1 at 111 with a 2.19 60ft lol

get that 60' down! I don't think even with d/r's mine would cut a better 60. Its dead hooking, launching from idle. My first run was about the same is yours, and finally I got it figured out.

Yeah I'm going to work on it. I'm just so used to launching on a slick. You should comeout to our Ford Shootout in Royal purple this Saturday. 11to5pm its going to be hot but at least is only fords.
