Is there launch assist for B6 manuals ?
Thank you for the advice. I am going to PEI (since you are canadian )
yes, the JHM tune actually comes with launch assist already installed. What’s your mod list?
Good advice from the experts. Take time and practice on a back road getting the feel for launching. And then get practice on shifting in the upper rpm range. Lots of times if your not really used to shifting in the upper rpm range it can effect you the first few times at the track.
You can watch videos of some guys that just added mods where they took videos and they were totally short shifting because they weren’t used to making big power and shifting in the upper rpm ramge
That GIF or whatever you want to call it of cabracco is at no limits raceway in Morrocco Indiana, it’s like 650ft above sea level.
First off I read the thread on drag racing and it was awesome! It answered a lot of my questions
What rpm should I be shifting at ? I noticed on a JHM post they mentioned 6000, but that seems early doesn’t it?
As for my mod list I just got the car back together the other night, it is a B6 manual and I have the primary bolt on power adders from everyones fav tuning shop (without making a massive list of everything) I have the JHM intake manifold, 2.5" trexturk down pipes, 2.5"magna flow cat back, JHM light weight crank pulley, I also have the JHM 91 octane tune, but I have to install that shortly I just have been having computer issues, I normally use Mac, and windows 8 is a pile of dog shit.
Nasty and I have a lot in common I guess ;D
Oh yes we do lol. Looking good
I saw your JHM mani on Instagram… it looked so good I ended up getting mine powder coated Gloss red hahaha (I’m sorry)
NA S4s should shift around 6500 rpms.
Also you need Windows XP or Windows 7 to use the JHM flashing server.
When I go to the strip I TRY to wind out 1st gear to 6800-6900 then shift at 6500 for the rest of the changes. That got me my best trap speed of 106. Most of the time I end up screwing up and short shifting 1st a little though
You can use a Windows 8 machine, you just need to use a different VPN client. If you, or anyone for that matter, needs help setting it up, let me know and I’ll do my best to help.
I used windows 8 to flash mine. the instructions are just a bit different to install the vpn client.
JHM must gave updated that then because when I first loaded it up the server only worked for XP and 7.
I think I remember Jake saying they recently changed servers but I doubt that would affect what operating systems can VPN in. When I tried following the JHM instructions on my Windows 8 machine the first time it wouldn’t connect. Then when I tried connecting on my Windows 7 machine it worked perfectly. I was able to find a different VPN client for my Windows 8 machine that allowed me to connect after some Google searching. After that the only issue I’ve had or have is when I open the JHM browser for the first time after VPN’ing into the JHM sever, it tries to connect to my home IP address rather than JHM’s. It’s easily solved by closing it and reopening it.
Yeah for Windows 8 Users, you can just follow the Windows 7 64 Bit instructions for installation and setup of the server etc…
What about Windows 10?
That’s on beta right now, so I doubt many people will be trying to flash with it lol.
You used to be fun!!
I went to do this last night with my Windows 8 platform but my car has been up on blocks so long my passkey expired, I thought I messed something up until I read the instruction notes
I sent JHM an email around 7:00 atlantic time and had a swift response from JHM with my new passkey. I was actually surprised anyone would be there that late, I was more impressed they were willing to handle it right away (thanks JHM)
Now I have to just install that fancy looking new manifold you sent me and I should be happy for a few weeks more.
3 hours behind meant 4pm their time. Still business hours. It’s great when it’s the end of the day. Sucks if you want an answer first thing in the morning and you’re on the east coast.
