haha..most peoeple lauch at 3 grand+. Some guys have programs on there ecu's that rev limit at 3k if the VSS (speedo) is below 3miles/hour or not in motion. So maybe 3 grand for most.

Re: what rpm to launch? (ByronC)

try launching at 3000 and feather it until 5 then punch it.
It should feel like it hops(once) hops (second time) then u punch it and you got traction

only if u want to burn your clutch and dont want it to last long...
go practice. try different rpms. no need to feather. u will know when u find the perfect rpm... it will grab real hard and wont bog.

That tranny isn't the most solid thing, it isn't really worth it. IMO

no one can really tell you. it depends how much wear on the tires, which surface, etc.
i launch my bros DX at 4K with brand new SI Wheels. chirps then grabs after i punch the puppy.

Re: what rpm to launch? (HUBB)
I prefer to feather the clutch. If I don't I either bog, or spin, no happy medium. Every car is different, tires, track surface, temperature. Practice makes perfect.
