For dominating Need for Speed Pro Street on the PS3, optimizing your car’s performance is crucial. Here’s a breakdown of tuning setups for different racing styles: drag, grip, speed, and drift.
Drag Tuning
Maximize acceleration by adjusting the cam timing start/end, boost, and nitrous settings to their maximum values (all the way to the right). Configure 5th and 6th gears with tall ratios, mirroring this with the final drive ratio. Minimize tire pressure on the driven wheels while maximizing pressure on the non-driven wheels. To mitigate wheelies, consider equipping Stage 2 suspension.
Grip Tuning
Maximize start/end boost for optimal power delivery. Slightly increase brake pressure. Fine-tune the final drive ratio based on the track: maximize it for open courses and minimize it for tight, technical tracks. Maintain slightly higher tire pressure in the front tires. Adjust shocks and springs slightly to the right and lower the ride height for improved handling.
Speed Tuning
Maximize start/end boost and advance cam timing to the maximum. Adjust all gear ratios, including the final drive, to the right for top speed. Lower the ride height. Suspension tuning can be adjusted to personal preference. Slightly lower tire pressure on the driven wheels.
Drift Tuning
Maximize start/end boost and fully advance cam timing. Slightly increase tire pressure on both front and rear wheels. Maximize the e-brake pressure and shift the brake bias slightly forward. Lower the ride height and maximize the spring/shock settings. Maximize caster and slightly increase toe for drift stability.
