where do you guys usually launch at?
i just picked up my bro's LS turbo @ 245whp with 6 puck
not sure where to launch at? people usualy say at your peak torque but i was think that might be too high? i was shooting for 3500-4000? i dont wanna lose too much tractions. i was thinkin about picking up some slicks. so i get too launch out at high rpm because of the good tractions. what rpm should i launch with slicks and withoutt slicks . extimate the math for me you guys? 245whp@5psi with a 6 puck clutch ? thanks.

 

No one can really say what RPM u should launch at. What you should do is, go out and practice. Try 2500, and if it bogs, try it at 3000. And so forth. It really depends on how well you play with the throttle and clutch.

 

practice makes perfect! It's a little harder to launch boosted cars.... just go out and practice in safe area and let us know what works best for you. It'll also answer your own question

 

theres many different techniques people use to launch..ive heard some people even slip it into gear..or ride the clutch just a little untill right when the tires grab then get on it..

 

i got some good launches while feathering gas and slipping clutch a little, launching around 5000-5200

 

if you want to make the best of your launch... -->get some slicks<-- then go about with your high launches.

 

Launch at 6000 and lemme know how it did...

 

well ill figure it out with some of my homie and experiment when is the best. as for slicks im savin upf or some slicks? how much do they run for a tire?

 

The highest rpm that wont create excessive tire spin.

this is what i do on my GTI, dont leave it to fate to allow the tires to grab.

 

i usually launch at 3500 and feather the clutch, but my gsr is realitivly stock.

 

Every one drives different. Find what works for you is the best advice anyone can give you. Try different techniques.
