FWD cars launch faster with a little wheel spin. the trick is to keep the tires just barely above where they catch traction, if you spin the tires too fast, you'll go slower. 3K sounds about right, just feather the clutch a little on the launch, don't just drop it, and gradually give it more throttle as the rpm's climb. it takes a lot of practice to get it right.

It has falken street tires is just what came whit the wheels i bought!!! It feels like the 6 puck clutch really makes a difference in performance on a 1/4 mile run. How much do you think it helps???

I used to launch my gen2teg at 3000. Then once I kept getting beat at the launch to another integra I launched at 4000. It picks up alot better with more power and no lag.

But this was on some 195/60/14's.

But my opinon. 4000 is best.
