Tips for a drag noob?

[SkierPS3]

I was wondering if anyone has tips on tuning and setups for drag racing. I always try to drag with my tuned cars, but they're all tuned to race, leading to almost consistent defeat.

Tune to the max, racing softs, manual transmission, stiff rear suspension, little to no downforce, no toe, but camber.

Its all about transmission tuning, and no one shares those.

The biggest tip is tune your car for a specific track. A tune for Top Gear and a tune for the indy 1/4mile are very different.

Here are a couple good places for some tunes to get you started. Also check the tuning forum. There are quite a few helpful drag threads there. And there's always the good ol' trial and error method of tuning. I suggest keeping a notebook for reference.
