TCS on or off, you should easlier be able to chirp in 2nd. It's very simple, rev and pop the cluch going from 1st the 2nd... same going from 2nd to 3rd. I never tried it going from 3rd to 4th . It does feel un-natual, but it will definitely chirp.

 

Uh sorry. There's no way a sub 300rwhp with an automatic transmission brakes the tires loose going into 4th at over 100 mph. I don't care what you say, it's not happening.

 

Mine used to do it occasionally when I was N/A... but I had 4.10s, so the 3-4 shift happened at ~82mph.

 

Well they do. I have the BamaChips race tune and 3.73s, it shifts hard.

 

I don't chirp when I powershift into 4th while spraying a 100 shot with many more power mods than you WITH a bamachips tune. Then again, maybe I don't hear what you would call an audible "chirp".

 

I have seen a few vids of N/A autos at the track chirping going into 4th before.....its little but its there.

 

Ahh, the good ol days of wanting to chirp 2nd and 3rd. Now all it does is annoy me as I want that power to the ground!

 

So freaking true.

 

Two words: drag radials.

 

How are you barking the tires into second with an auto? You power braking through the gears? Hell stock tune I cant get the wheels to spin without power braking. Does a tune really add that much power?

 

I've been hunting all over for some DRs for my 18x9 wheels. As we all know, I've limited myself big time with that size wheel. Have any suggestions? I want to keep my Mach1 styled wheels. Widening would give me the best options but I don't really want to deal with that.

 

Barking in gears is no indication of power. You want to be impressive, shift into third and smoke the tires.

 

Just keep practicing I could chirp 2nd gear in my 96hp Isuzu pickup.

 

It's not the power so much as it's the hard shifting. At WOT my car actually gets a little squirrely going into second. It does more than bark. Heck, it barked the tires at the track with drag radials from 1-2 and 2-3(not 3-4 with DRs, lol). This is with the 93 race tune.

 

I do it in my 4cyl Ranger just to confuse people.

 

got the bamachip 93 race tune with an auto and 3.73 gears and if I am on it, I can chirp 3rd gear. But if you really want to burn some rubber save up for a supercharger.

 

I can waste first and second and get a good roar outta 3rd.
Automatic, 4:10 gears, and Dynospeed custom tune.

 

Chirping the gears stock is not necessarilly the fastest way to shift but its pretty easy, just get into the gas hard before letting the clutch out again, like popping it in first only do it very quickly. If you short-stroke the clutch and speed shift it its more efficient and faster but you won't get a chirp. You can typically catch 2nd in any car from a hyundai accent to a focus to a mustang.

 

...Had Dougs race tune in my '05 auto with 3.73's spun hard second...nice chirp in 3rd...and get little squacker in 4th many times...
