Is this normal?

[Aaron Franzen]

Sometimes when I accelerate in first my car will take off pretty quick and other times it will take off slow in first but second gear will talke off fast. Is this normal?

[Jared Clark]

i guess it depends on how fast you reach your max boost... if i start rolling at 2km and then just punch it, its slow cause i dont boost fast... but if im rolling at 3k or so in first it will boost quicker (or so it seems)

Engine bogging!! The engine has a hard time spinning unless it already has some enteria.

Inertia.

[Travis Merrick]

if you dont have a little bit of boost built up you will bog the engine, try feathering the gas a bit before taking off

yea ya can't just floor these things in the lower rpm range.  It builds knock and once that starts it takes a thousand or so rpm for it to dissipate.  And when its knockin, timing is being pulled.  Pulled timing make for loagy, soggy performance.

so just find the throttle position that for you makes the best roll-in point.

Once you have 3000rpm or so, you can mat it.
