Default ACCELERATION

My acceleration from a roll is exactly where I want it for now and I got there with an exhaust, intake and those basic "common" mods, from 4000 RPMs and on its a champ in every gear. Now, I want a better "kick" or OOOOMPH from mashing it at light. Would a tune be what Im looking for or what would be the best mod.?

Gears?

gears and tuner are both ways to fix it, both would be night and day.

They cause the car to squat more in the rear, put greater force on the rear tires so you get a solid take off. They also help eliminate wheel hop. But Fazm is right, start wtih the gears and tuner.

No, you're right, though a limited slip diff like a t-lok becomes a more serious need after the car is producing more power at launch.

haha sorry this is kind of off topic, but rygen your sig is really funny to me. The right side picture looks like a 1 inch turbo with an ENORMOUS boost gauge right on top of it....haha
