Could anyone explain this too me.I did what the owners manual tells me too do but it did not seem to work.What RPM does the car 2 step @ and does it work @ the track or how should i launch my car on street tires so i dont do 2.33 60ft times.I am not to good w/ a stick car so any help w/ the launch and how to shift the car threw the gears would help.

Just hit the traction control button twice and it will go into launch control mode. If I remember correctly you have to be at a dead stop, in first gear, clutch all the way in. Should rev to about 4200 or so and when you dump the clutch it will manage wheel spin.

you have to put the gas pedal to the floor quickly. cant slowly press it down from what i have read.

Now do u use the clutch when shifting gears or what do u do too help short throws between gears.
dont use launch control at the track. I launch at around 3000 rpm slipping the clutch on stock tires, but I'm making less hp than you. you need to find your sweet spot where you get a little chirp, but it grabs. When throwing the gears, use the clutch, shift quick, but avoiding wheel spin between gears. Try to shift right before your rev limiter kicks in.

wow, those are some slow shifts

you definitely want to use the clutch, but instead of "pressing" the clutch, it's more of a "stabbing" movement. You just want to jab the clutch, bottom the pedal out and release it. In the amount of time it takes you to do that, you should be finding the next gear with your right hand.

I dont think the LC is useful in these cars... maybe for a stock car MAYBE but other than that I find it really not that useful esp since you cant really adjust the RPM...
here is a vid of my car with bolt-ons and no tune... lots of wheels spin!

You are probably right, I tried it at the track and it was full of fail.

Too bad you cant raise it to 5000! looks like it bogged down pretty good there
