I spent some time trying to tune a 33 stradale for unlimited drag. My best times are 7.8 for 1/4mi, 12.1 for 1/2mi and 19.2 for 1 mi. My tune is basically losing 0.5 seconds in the first quarter mile, an additional 0.2 in the second quarter mile and 0.1 in the last half mile. This suggest my biggest problem is the launch and I can see that when I am running against other Alfas
Are there any experienced tuners that are willing to at least give me a hint where I should be looking?
Thank you.
is your alfa rwd or awd?
AWD. I got my tune down to 19.117 for the full mile. I shaved 50ms from the setup and 115ms from switching to manual trans.
I also downloaded a tune which claims 18.5 in the description and only managed a 18.950 with it. I am stating to suspect the it is the driver who needs more tuning than the car 
I am running with TCS and STM on.
general rule of thumb in drag racing never use tcs/stm since its awd it will have very little wheel spin and you are going in a straight line you can also pick up more time by going to the clutch
It is about the launch and getting the car straight down the track. It takes practice.
I would avoid downloading tunes unless they are a leader board driver with proven times.
I would also avoid manual with clutch if you are running an AWD setup. The R class mile will be your only manual with clutch advantage. If you are running R class and P class and AWD you want to run manual for better times. Lower class cars and RWD like the clutch.
