Default Magnus motorsports clutch release solenoid

Looking to see how is running one and what signal you have it hooked up to. I just got one and am looking for input on setting it up to activate in for launch only. I am currently running s300. All input is welcome.

Sell, recoup money, and dial in your left foot. You'll be chasing your tail when track conditions, weather conditions, tire conditions, etc etc all change.

You will get the most benefit from using a clutch buffer to match the hit of the clutch to the engine's power. Using it to chase track conditions is setting yourself up for frustration.

Here's the difference-
...When matching the clutch to the engine, the tires stay dead hooked and the clutch slips to control bog. The buffer is used to force the clutch to slip longer than it wants to by temporarily withholding some clamp pressure. It's basically a timed event that doesn't vary much with conditions. Since this scenario keeps the tires dead hooked, it's radial friendly.
...When matching the clutch to the conditions the buffer is used to adjust the hit of the clutch, with the goal of hitting the tires hard enough to make them spin just the right amount to control bog. Basically trying to walk the fine line between too much spin or not enough. Missing it either way can have a huge effect on power production.

Guess which method places less stress on transmissions and axles.

I'll be keeping it. I'm really just looking for input and insight on wiring it up to function for launching only. Guess I should of been more specific as to what I was looking for input on.

Ever find out how to wire this up or what input/output to use on S2000? Interested in doing this also.
