Just find a rev point that gives you enough traction where you don't spin the tires, and let the turbo's spool up while keeping traction. And that doesn't bog the car off the line.

I think I launch around 2500-3000 rpm's. Street tires and BMR LCA's is all I have in the back. I roll into the throttle so I don't break the tires loose in first and then pull 2nd and keep the foot to the floor.

If I had stickier tires I could probably rev it much higher. I know a bunch of guys in my carclub with 6-spd cars that launch at like 6000rpm's. I don't think my LS7 clutch would take too much of that. But it survives DD usage on the car.

Oh, and on the dyno last weekend my car put down 538rwhp. I think I got all the questions in there. Good luck! Just gotta go to a TNT night and practice to see what works for ya.

It depends on the track and how well it hooks. Best thing you can do is get a 2 step and some slicks. Then adjust you launch rpm till it leaves the best.

2nd that, depends a lot on your setup and how well your turbo spools without true load.

4300 on the 2step @ 3psi, still spins though. I need more time at the track to perfect it

How much timing are you pulling?



5100rpm + -5* = 3psi for me ( 1.56 60ft at a good track never spun)
4800rpm + -12* = 6psi (1.70 at a shitty track, spun like crazy. Even had the cars *** end kick out on me when I shifted to 2nd on the last pass and it's never done that, scared me lol)

I'm running full timing (13*), I have a Harlan 2 step & you cant pull timing with those. I have see a little over 4 but it spins. The best 60 for me was a 1.61 spinning, I have only been to the track once with the 2 step & it was bleeding off boost.
