where do you guys launch at?
I was wondering, where do you guys ususally launch, I was thinking that since we have lsd we can launch much higher, but at what rpm's is best?

On the real, This kid I know with OEM LSD I think he said he was doing it at 5 or 6grand on slicks. cant remeber on DR's or street tires. But I think he went thru three axles and also that LSD is no longer working
Ask in the drag forum also, Im sure more peeps would have info...

every car, track, and tire is different. its impossible to say whats best. just try not to get a lot(if any) wheel spin. and you also might want to try the drag racing forum.

It depends on your car and tires you use. Practise and find your own sweet spot. A good place to start would be 5K rpm. The key is to hit VTEC with traction as soon as you can.

Between 5-7k rpms. Good for 2.0 60' on SO-3's. The key is to make sure the car hooks up in VTEC or close to it. I can pull 2.1 60's with a lower rpm launch, but my ET will not be as quick as a 2.2 that starts in VTEC.
