well it all depends what track your at and what kinda tires you got. if your tires suck then try to stay around 2-2,50. new or better tires i go around 3,500. just don't drop the clutch cuz then your tires will break and you will have a horrible launch. good luck at the track!

Right.
And/or you'll have a bunch of wheelhop, which is just really bad for the whole drivetrain (since, after all, the entire wheels-axles-transmission-engine package will be shaking pretty violently).
I got my best 60' times in my EP by revving to around 4500 or so and feathering the clutch & throttle for just a bit while the tires found traction. I didn't load the clutch& hold it with the e-brake at the line, though, like some people do (I want my clutch to at least last a little while).

Yeah, but for '03 models and up -- my 2002 EP didn't come with it..

You misread my post -- my '02 EP doesn't have the 2-step launch control, but they added it starting with the '03 models.
