what the topic says ^^^... i launch around 2300-2400 with my OEM tires

 

anywhere from 1500-4600

 

I'd bog if I launched at 1500

It ultimately depends on the tires you're using.

Street Tires = 5000 usually for me.

 

3500 with my old SP Sport 8000's.. I'm not even going to try to drag w/these kuhmos

 

that sounds about right to launch with "OEM" tires. michelin right? those tires are pieces of ****. i wouldnt launch more than 3000+ with street tires. any higher and youll get major tire spin or wheel hop... with boost at least. if you just got basic boltons.. im sure its ok to launch around 3500+

 

4-5K

 

yeah michelin H4's... yeah they are shitty... thin walls... they work though for now

 

I launch at 5000 RPM and then I feather it if it goes up to redline. this way when I catch traction the secondaries are already opened. Tried and true for me. Yes with Michelins. No more Michelins for me though. Wait, I still have them on the back two tires. But those are getting old and I'm going to get Azenis's all the way around soon.

 

5k here

 

So are you launching at 5K with Azenis in the front?

I got Azenis all the way around but I get major wheel hop... launching @ 4500.

Are you getting any wheel hop? I have some motor mount inserts that are just sitting here waiting for me to install... hopefully that'll clear up my hopping.

 

I launch at my rev limiter.. 7500 rpms.. hahaha, i get some wheel spin but my rpm stay pretty high and i gain a lot of speed..

 

2500 on Toyo Spectrums. And actually still gets quite a bit of spin.

 

5k with Pirelli P8000, no wheel hop.

DA's have radius rods stock.

 

can someone give me a "how-to" on launching?

 

Hold revs at 5k
Pop clutch
Wheeeee!

Just do basically that, feather the clutch a little bit so you don't cook the tires and you'll be fine. Takes a little practice and then you'll be fine.

 

When at the track I launch at 6K w/ my slicks. Street tires, 3K give or take.

 

depends on the conditions... 3-5K and letting off the clutch gradually..while hitting the gas as fast as I can w/o losing too much traction...

 

it sure does

 

5500 rpms
dunlop sp w-10
2.1 60 ft's all day long

 

10k

Actually, just experiment. Conditions constantly change on the track. And, the stock Michelin's (try 3500 to 4500) are horrible.

 

funny thing about the michelans is that they suck for racing, but are great for normal driving. my dad has the same tires on his 2000 chrysler sebring. put 52k miles on them and they still have tread. he's buying new ones soon.

 

You're right. One thing good about Michelins is the treadwear. But, they're just not sticky enough, nor compliant enough with the handling, IMHO.

 

i used to launch at <2.5k and spin out til theres no tomorow but lately my cars been feelin' a bit slugesh so i launch a ~3k now...

 

Launch at 4000-4500, i had 60-foot times of 2.0(constantly).

 

I launch between 5500-5800. I have a Vtec light hooked up so I know when Im reving too high, better to keep your eyes on the track then your gauges. 5500 is perfect for me though, running on Nitto 450's. No wheel hop or bogging at all just peel out through most of fist til i catch traction, then Im gone. Ran a 15.4 all stock... except for springs and wheels.
