Icon2 Best Launching Technique For 93 Si With GSR Swap

I got a 93 Civic si with a Gsr Swap, Intake , Headers , Full Exhaust . The Ecu is chipped and has launch control set at 6500. What would be my best way to get this thing outta the hole ? Im using 99 Civic Si Wheels With Nexxan Tires. . Thanks. Just trying to get some opinions

I'd venture to say 6500 is WAYYYY too high for those street tires. I liked to launch around 4k rpms and then feather the throttle until 2nd gear, in my two NA hatches. Play with the tire pressure, probably between 13-20 psi. Don't do long burnouts. Also, if you have a lot of camber, I wouldn't even waste my time trying to run on street tires.

I agree about 6500 being WAY to high . I launched it on a back road and it did nothing but fry the tires, as far as the camber goes the previous owner did have the car set up pretty low, Its got GC Koni set-up. The car is pretty low. Not slammed though. It seems the wear tires pretty even and rides nice and straight

I also have a chipped ECU with 6500 RPM launch control. It works great on my 22X8X13 slicks but like stated above a low RPM launch with some clutch slip will be your best bet on street tires.
