Default advise plz on lauch rpm for 2 step

im sending my ecu off to phearable.net to have them chip it. one thing they do is 2 step launch control. its not adjustable so what you have them set it for is what it is. was wanting to see what ppl are launching at with a simular setup to mine. 95 civic coupe with b16a and 5 speed non lsd. nitto neo gen 215/50 15 , stock 22mm front sway bar with dropzone coilovers lowered 2 inches with monroe sensatrac shocks and struts. using energy suspension bushings. hoping for around 160whp

i hope i posted this in the right section

Every car is different. With launch control its better to play around to see where you get the best launches without peeling too much or so. So honestly its up to you. IMO 4500rpm. I launch off at 6500rpm

hey thanks for the reply. yah you're right about that. i usually launch at around 4500 anyway, but with them tuning it for me, i wont be able to play around with it, with the new settings. just kinda wanted an idea on something close to tell them. im sure it will be close to 4500 for my final descision.

They aren't tuning it, they are just putting a basemap on it. You shouldn't be racing/driving hard/using launch control until it is tuned. Once it is tuned, than you can see what the car likes and set it at that.

^^ x2, it's just a base, which you're not likely to get any power gains from. But launch control at 4500 is a good place to start.

PS we didn't need to know about your suspension
