launching is all up to you. try different revs and get a feel for what you like. shift at about 7,000 - 7200 on the OEM tach. 6800-7000 on anything else.

If you have a vfac would that be more accuate then anything else since you stock is most of the time off by 100 or so RPM?

Re: (VtecLover)
yes, aftermarket tach's that go above 8k and digital tach's would be more accurate.
the OEM prelude tach is known to be off a couple hundred RPM's in the high end which is normal.
when a gauge is calibrated, the center of attention is on 20 - 80 % of full range. anything under and over is going to be the least accurate.
