I would stage in s-mode, let the trany shift by itself and DSC to sport mode, brake torque it to help (very little it will add) build up some boost and let it fly when the tree says green. Not much else you can do. I would also avoid the "bleach box" on street tires.

Their was another thread of a guy who left the suspension to normal, but had DSC off and launch control on, and I think he shifted manually (in my 4.8 I shift before the DS shifts and get better power that way)
It's on the first page of this forum I believe. |

Great, fun time. That's the best I have, 12.4 huge head wind atleast 20 mph, I would figure a 12.35 would happen if it was a calm day. Maybe a 12.2ish if I had a set of light rims and not 22inchers I think this big should trap at 112.5 with out the wind. Used launch control for almost all this runs, I think it was the best, roasted a lot of mustangs, c63amg, Camaros, STIs. I highly recommend if you have never been

Those are good numbers for a tank. W/ AWD, you had a good hookup.
