Default Hondata Launch Control on street??????

I have a question about the hondata launch control... i already tried searching it up and couldnt really find anything covering this question... my question is when your launching when the hondata launch control at about 3500-400 rpm with full throttle on street tires, once you let go of your clutch you rev limit goes back to normal and your still on WOT won't you lose traction once you hit high rpm??? or do you launch and ease up on the gas so you wont lose traction?? i am running a LSvtec and gonna run about 10-12 lbs on the street with street tires... thanks in advance

Then you need to lower your launch RPM to reduce wheelspin. That is the whole idea between having an adjustable the launch RPM.

a full throttle launch on street tires is a fulthorttle launch. yes i can lower it to 2k RPM's and hope for traction . but trust me , they will still blaze up. its great for the track , but not optimal for street use unless you have like drag radials.
