: Orlando Speedworld tonight?

I'm about 80% sure I'm going to head over to Bithlo tonight and run the jeep to get some shakedown runs. I know this track in the past has not been the fastest but it will allow me to get a baseline on where I'm at. I would go somewhere else but Bithlo is only about 40 min. from my house. If anyone else is interested hit me up. I will post times tonight.

I plan on getting a new tune from RDP after this to see the difference. My current MHP tune seems rich and I know it can be better.

Track is open 6pm to 10:30pm. I hope it's not too busy.


Any tips on how our Jeeps like to be launched. Nail the throttle on the last yellow or hold the brake and bring revs up? TC on or off? I plan on leaving it in D. Tire PSI?

I've heard lot, stuff varies on track a d conditions etc, but most say bering psi up to like high 30s i think, TC off and on, try both and see for yourself, then some preload to 1500 but its rough on your tc/tranny but some just nail it and say it works better. This is all experimentation for yourself, find your magic combo ;) Good luck, keep us posted!!!

Thanks for the info. I've seen a few guys do 40psi in the fronts and 35 in the rears. I guess I will try this first. I feel like I get a better launch when I bring the revs up with the brake held but it seems many members just nail it off idle. I will try a few things but it all depends on how many runs I get. I will def post times tonight. I feel like my rig could definitely break into the 12.9's but I don't expect it tonight, especially at Bithlo.

Not going to make it the the strip tonight so I am planning on going this coming Wednesday barring the weather is good. Track should be less busy.
