never driven a car at the track with IRS but all mod motors need to be reved...

slip the clutch at high rpms....like 4000+

remember, SOME tire spin is better than bogging...

Good luck at the track, I have never driven with an IRS so I can't give you any pointers, just wish you luck. Let us know what happens, I wanna get a 99+ cobra too and would like to know what numbers they are putting down.

I recommend you slip it at about 3,000, you'll get a good launch and you wont spin the tires to much. Also depends on what rubber your running.
