Default b16a guys-where do you launch at with this set up...

i have only been in the honda game for l**** 18months and am building my 3rd ride.
1989 crx dx
b16a-12:1 cr
ctr cams and valvetrain-estimated 200whp
running lenso 13*8 with slicks
i am curious at what rpm to launch and do you guys just drop the clutch or feather it? the car will be done in like 2-3 weeks.

i had a 1991 se-r turbo for 2 years that i had built the ran 11.8's but tat car had very nice torque. i used to just feather the se-r off th line at like 3500rpm.

the hb in my sig ran 13.8-14.1 on gsr stocks with bfg's. if i tried to drop it @ like 5k and the car would buonce pretty bad-it didnt seem to be moving so i tried feathering it off the line and this worked well at like 3k but i had really high 60 foot-like 2.4

so any help will be appreciated-check out my old hb in the sig..

1) Drive out into the country
2) Find an empty road
3) Stop
4) Experiment

what's the spring rate on your front springs? have you tried adjusting the shocks?
