Default Launching Question~~

Ok, so I have been to the track a few times with my 94 ls coupe.. I was wondering which would be a better way to launch... take it to around 3,500 rpm and dump the clutch or take the motor to limiter and feather the clutch out... thanks in advance for replies... the only reason i ask this is because i have only tried launching around 3,500 rpm, but i see all these other hondas/acuras launching from the rev limiter

hold it at your desired rpm, dump clutch and hold the throttle steady until you catch trction and then floor it

you will feel better high end power with the blox manifold

if you have a gsr motor it wil shift your peak torque much further towards the high end of the power range

It depends on your other mods. Have you done any other mods that require your engine to get more air? If not you would be lucky to get 1hp. Your not going to "feel it" either.

and the "launching off the limiter" you are referring to is a 2step.

Some of us launch with a launch limiter, also known as 2step. thats why you think we're launching at the rev limiter. If people really did launch with the rev limiter it'll just a huge burn out.
