hey whats the best way to launch your car... i got a 94 del sol with gsr

tallyturbo

i launch full throttle (i use uberdata with full throttle launch). i have it set at 3800

DelSolMarine

so just hold the clutch in and hold the gas down to 3800 and when i take off let off it of?

u shouldn't be launching

DelSolMarine

i mean can i get some advance and not insulted... im trying to learn better...

DelSolMarine

sorry advice

tallyturbo

YOU should be just trying to hold the gas peddle around 3800 rpm, then when you want to go just let off the clutch. you will probable have to figgure what rpm is best for your car

Me on the other hand have the full throttle launch feature by using uberdata and it lets me push the peddle all the way down and it keeps my rpms at 38-3900 rpms. so all i have to do is let off the clutch

well i have a stock del sol vtec and i launch at 3500..and it pulls smooth

crxsi8

going to bake famosa tomorrow to run my ls/vtec crx i still want to know where to launch..ive tried 2200 and it burn out like crazy..trying 4500 with NT triple 5's..hopefully it grabs and i pull a easy 14.2

DelSolMarine

so do i hold the clutch in... i know to hold the gas up to 3800 so do i hold the clutch all the way in or just partially?

tallyturbo

when you launch do you have bad wheel hop or does it bog down any?

DelSolMarine

it like hops a little bit and then it seems like it just bogs down like the rpm drop and then go up rather than just pull smoothly through

tallyturbo

ya i edited my post to make it more clear. hold your clutch in (i like to hold it right about where it feels like it is going to catch), and the rev up to were you want, and then dump the clutch.

tallyturbo

if it bogs down some you might want to try to bring the revs up a little.

DelSolMarine

alright great... i shift good and everything it chirps 2nd and 3rd gear just my starts suck sometimes there decent but... ya know i guess i just need work on it more lol

DelSolMarine

ill put it on 4000 and see how it does

tallyturbo

what are you launching at now? i would just go up prob 100 intervals. that way you dont burn all the way through first.

DelSolMarine

i racing a guy in a dodge rt 2night and i know hes gonna pull hard on me at the start

tallyturbo

what rpm's are you launching from?

Out of every "game"

its going to depend on alot of factors.

tires
suspenstion
wheel size
and motor work.

everyone launches at a different rpm. you want it to catch right at vtec. if it bogs in the begining try putting it at a higher rpm. good luck with the srt. little info if he gets you at the launch just stop cause its over. srt's pull in 3rd. get him by a car off the line and its yours.

why not race him from a roll?

Anyway, chirping 2nd and 3rd isnt exactly the best for trying to go fast. That chirp means that you are losing traction, which is what you want. You need to shift to where it is quick, and percise but without chirping.
Launching will just take practice. Some people love to rev real high and feather the clutch, others like to dump the clutch at lower rpms. Just take your car out and practice in safe areas. You will find what works for you the best.
So what car are you racing tonight? People are saying an SRT...assuming SRT-4? Those cars will pull top end due to their turbo. A friend of mine had basic bolt ons with his, and it was dead even with us up to 100mph, then after that he would start to walk.
Good luck, and be safe tonight
