when I lauch at 3 1/2, I get wheel hops. What's the best way to lauch without lagging my ride?

When you say don't drop the hammer, you mean don't let go of the clutch all the way?

wheelhop at 3 1/2? try like 2.5 or 3 and lower ur front tire pressure a lil. play around and find the optimal pressure for ur launch. with stock clutch, feather, don't drop.

i think when he said on hill he meant like balancing out how much gas he gives and how much he lets up on the clutch. thats pretty much how i do it. once i feel it hook up and its not slipping then i let up off the clutch completely and go full throttle

3,000-4,000 RPM is a pretty good launch for me.

True, I lower the tire pressure into 12 psi and it seem kinda flat tire but it help.. SO I have GReddy Turbo and I rev up to 2,500.. When my car take off, the turbo getting lag and I ran 15.7.. I was upset and I dont know what to do.. SO the pro drive told me to rev up more.. SO I take another run again.. I rev up to 4,000 RPm and boy It is fast... THe turbo spool quicker and I ran 14.2... I was surprised and Thank the guy for helping me.. Rememeber when I rev higher RPm, u need to get good clutch.. I have Dx tranny with ACT Extreme Pressure with Streetdisc.. Happy Turbo.......
