In your case Arpad you may want to look at your tune. Pulling a degree or two of timing in the lower RPM ranges (2000-4000 RPM) can help blunt the torque on the hit. Once you’re underway the missing timing doesn’t matter since you’ll never be back into that low RPM range again during the rest of the run. That trick helped me get my car to hook up better at launch. A Smoothboost delivers more progressive PD blower power too since you get full boost at commanded WOT (pedal position), not because the vacuum bypass felt like it lol
Hmm, this makes sense, thanks a lot, I'll look at the timings. Ideally I'd only want to "soften" lower gears, 1st and 2nd and maybe partially 3rd, because I don't want to weaken rolling launches from 3rd or 4th gear, where the initial downshift can land revs in the 4k range for a huge (welcome) torque hit. I'm in this for fun, not for ETs and outstanding 60 ft times
