My right foot and some ET Streets are my launch control.

I personally think your in over your head. I dont know the parts needed for a launch control system, but a 2 step is normally used. Normally with these cars its called a good rear end, some sticky tires, and putting your foot down. I dont think launch control would help any more then a line lock, sticky tires and a good stall converter and rear end

If you need launch control with that mod list you need to be looking at new tires. With that mod list you should be able to launch well on an all season tire.
Tires get hard and lose traction with age even if they have a lot of tread left.

Racelogic is cool. It may be slightly out of your price range though.

I wouldn't bother with one. Focus on the rest of the car. I don't see any suspension mods listed.

I like how everyone on here just bashes everyone's decisions, I have a damn supercharger waiting to go on I'm thinking Ahead and thank you to the couple of people who actually answered the question

I didn't bash anyone, I was stating that I didn't see any suspension work listed. I don't care what launch control system you use, I just don't see it hooking up with stock suspension especially if your adding a super charger.

suspension mods will help avoid wheelhop too which will help keep the 7.5" toothpick together.

OK now it just crossed my mind that there are two very different things both often reffered to as "launch control".

Do you want a line lock to keep the front brakes locked during a burnout or do you want an electronic system to monitor wheelspin and modulate engine power for the quickest launch without spin?

I think most of us were assuming you wanted the power modulating device.

even with a damn superchager, some sticky tires, suspension, and a strong rear should suffice. .

wrong! don't need suspension, need a good tire. You can go 1.4x 60' on bone stock suspension, no guarantees on how long your torque arm lasts though. I've seen it personally on a bolt on, 125shot ls1 with a 4000ish converter. Guy didn't even have adjustable shocks. tire was a 26x10 et street

1.56 60" on stock suspension, stock down to the shocks

didnt MSD come out with a Skew rate traction control system a few years back that calculated the acceleration of the acceleration of the car and retarded the timing if the tires were gaining speed IE spinning too quickly? probably need a pro to get it tuned in properly, but if thats what your looking for it is one avenue. but from my experience, a blower on an lt1 means tires up in smoke regardless lol

I used my Mallory 685 box's 2 step as launch control with my M6.

Worked great..

My LS1 car with a 3600 stall and drag radials can dead hook on the street if I warm up the tires and launch just right.. I haven't needed anything exotic there. Spray about 40 feet out...

There's guys running 7s on a 28x10.5 tire, you think 450hp is too much to hook without traction control??
