well I was reading about launching techniques and I was wondering if someone can explain pre-loading the drivetrain using e-brake technique. I admit that I am an amateur driver and would like to know what is the best way to launch a high HP FWD car. Best way meaning to avoid breaking parts and also resulting in a quick 60ft. My setup is in my sig and for drivetrain :

gsr tranny
quaife LSD
act flywheel
act max extreme pressure plate w/ 6 puck disk
driveshaft shop stage 5 axles
full-race traction bars

<U>Suspension</U>
all stock typeR parts except for :
tokico illuminas and h&r race springs
wheels = 205/40/17 on 17" montegi ff7

i want to know how fast the car is in street trim thats why i am using the 17" rims and also i am only running 15psi = 430whp.

How do u guys launch? What tires are u using and what are some of your 60ft times?

 

w/ all that power you will never get those 17's to hook....im sure they will spin all the way through 4th

 

I've seen people with way less power than that on street tires spin through 4th feathering and pedaling the whole way

 

your just wasting your time with street tires. i ran on low boost makeing 410whp with 205/50/15 es100's and ran a 12.6 spinning all the way down the track. with slicks i run a 11.6
you dont need to worry about preloading to much with your axles.
but you hold your e-brake and ease the clutch out tell you can barely feel the car creep foward, then release the e-brake&clutch at the same time.

 

just another quick question. with the limiter at 5g, wont preloading the clutch burn it out?
