I know that your launch greatly depends on the car you are driving and its mods but as for the driving aspect of it, does anyone have any good pointers on perfecting my launch?? Practice makes perfect but what dynamics are there to think about?
Just something I was thinking about... Any pointers would be awsome!!!
Thanks

 

i would like to know too!

 

launch high dont bog

 

Don't dump the clutch, your axles will thank you for it.

I always preload the clutch enough to where the car won't move, the same way you would do while sitting on a hill, bring the revs up to launch rpm, and when its time to go I modulate the clutch and gas according to how the tires are doing(wheelspin, wheelhop, etc.)

 

its hard not to dump it with a puck clutch

 

Hmm launching... Personally, my experience has been:

Big Clutch
Big Slicks
Strong Axles
Good Suspension
Good Burnout
Perhaps 2-Step
8000rpm. Dump Clutch. Go.

I'm using an ACT six puck and I don't have to dump it.

It's like driving it on the street in normal driving. But I guess it depends on your power level and how your clutch is worn in.

more like 9000rpm dump and shift into 2nd asap

 

how can you prevent bogging? and wheel hop?

 

launch high and feather accordingly

straight to the point, question: what would you categorize as good suspension? how much do the slicks spin before they grab?
