do you guys keep it at a steady RPM when you wanna launch hard. or do you keep idle then go? i found it pretty good around 2500 RPM's. no spinning tires the engine dosent seem to jolt or kick. what you guys doing? oh and i have Stock Pilot tires

 

drag racing for 15 seconds

theres like 10 threads on this dude. come on now.

 

around 4 grand.
spin just enough to get out quickly.
tires were a little better than stock. came off the HFP show car.

this was a little under 4 grand. rather quick start.... rolling kinda.

but... i did find something other things out on youtube on this video this guy launches very differently. he almost burns out the whole 1st gear. around 29 seconds into the video i dont know i wanna go the track and def. try to master a good launch.

If you want launch quickly, launch with the VSA on, as soon as you finish launching hit the VSA off. I've had a good experience with doing that, but you can also get a good launch by revving to 3k-RPM and dump the clutch. good luck

this guy is an idiot dont listen to him.

launch around 3-3.5k works for me.
feather the clutch and your good to go.
powershift into 2nd...and your already in vtec.

 

i cant get a solid 3k rpm launch. it sucks! i tried 3500. 3000, 4000, nothing. just hardcore spinning the tires. i tried letting the clutch out slow that did'nt help either. maybe its the stock tires? and i think the VSA is on 2007 only i have a 2006 so that would'nt help at all. correct me if i am wrong

 

your right, it doesn't have VSA.

its definently your tires........... u have suspension?

 

just under 2500...(2200)

 

Just take your car out to a quiet area where you won't pull attraction and just practice them man.

I forgot the VSA is only on 07's. Sorry.
good luck man.

 

WtF did I tell him?
3k-rpm. you're the idiot.

 

yeah still stock tires/rims/suspension. i just have a Injen CAI. I am looking for some nice Tires to wrap with Gold TE-37's but their real expensive. and cant find a good deal on em. but thats is my next mod. cause those tires are pretty beat the thread is going fast on em. I will get back to ya. Do you think Suspension would have a major impact on a launch?

 

major impact? wouldn't say major.........
but it does make an impact....... compare a drag cars suspension to a circuit car. one is stiff as f*ck, the other is more loose.

 

Anyone who thinks launching with the VSA on is better is retarded. Launch at 4500, learn how to backpedal and your good.

you told him to dump the clutch at 3k. your the idiot.

Reading &gt; you.

 

i want to old deserting long street that no ever goes on. i got pretty good launches. right around 3000 was good for me. anything past 4000 and i continue to floor the gas pedal i get a hard core burn out and shaking of the dashboard. but i def. think i got it down.

what is this back pedaling that you speak of lol?

 

Backpedaling is what you do when you launch a car and need to manage wheel spin. When you launch a car you really don't want to "dump" the clutch. The key to it is to have the right amount of clutch slip, throttle modulation and wheelspin. If you can learn to really get a feeling for the car, any car for that matter, you will know what I'm talking about. When you lauch at 4 try to let your clutch out alittle slower, once the wheels break loose back of the throttle to 60-75%. As soon as you feel the car hook, plant the gas and get ready to shift. The best advice was given to you earlier in this thread, practice.

 

will try it out. sounds like hell for your tires

Not only that but it is good practice to actually feather the clutch as well as the gas, that way you keep your RPM's up... *Edit: Nevermind, you already stated the clutch thing...

There is no perfect RPM to launch at, there are too many variables... Tires, Wheels, Mods, the surface of the Tarmac, Clutch, etc...

or maybe learn how to race your car. It sounds like you don't know how to race a car, i think thats your problem.

 

Michelin Pilot Exaltos and practice.

explain how you "race" your car. i thought you drive a car.

 

haha another thread gone to waste.
dude just try different things and you'll have it perfect with practice. There is no right way. It's your way. Enjoy.
