Be careful what you ask for, if you really want the BEST performance on the drag strip you need to be brutal. This means a very high RPM launch to avoid bogging down, depending on the tyres and the track condition. This varies somewhere between 5 and 7k.

There are some tricks and tips you can do to minimise damage to the driveline, such as:

* preloading the drive train by slipping the clutch and holding against the handbrake. If your handbrake is in good condition and you time this right as you will be releasing the brake fully as you move your left hand forward to snatch second.

* go easy on the change from second into third, as you can destroy a GT-R gearbox even with near standard power by brutal changing into this gear.

* with standard gearing and near standard power you should be crossing the line near the top of fourth and you shouldn't have to grab fifth.

Be aware that drag racing is a sure fire way to ensure your GT-R will cost you money. Your previous 12.5 is about right for what you should be getting. Perhaps with practice and more brutal launching you could get around the 12.3 mark, but you need to ask yourself if this improvement is worth the money.

Of course if you can afford it and it "presses your buttons" then go for it!
