Sound familiar Kevin? 🙂

  1. 2-step (Stutter box) Build's some boost on the line w/ the clutch pushed in. Go to the line try to preload the drivetrain so there isnt a harsh engagment on the drive-train parts( Axles, t-case, rear end, 1st gear) Then once you have pre loaded you will have the car in 1st gear w the clutch pushed in and the gas floored as the car boost builds and the light turns green. you will let the clutch out a little bit till its grabbing then let it out quickly w keeping your right foot planted on the gas... This should light up all 4 tires and shouldnt bog. This will take some practice and id practice on wet grounds befor you take it to a sticky track.... My .02

  2. NO 2-step I dont hold the revs at a any certain rpm.. I kinda pulsate the gas peddle fast so the rpms are between 5500-6200 then with a quick slip-n-drop the car will lauch and hopefully wont break anything..

Practice on a dusty/dirty or wet road!!

Thats how I launch I had decent 60-foot times... best of 1.65 shitty tires, I know Nate Burgess had a 1.58 but with AEM and like 15 lbs on the line?

Good luck Newbe

Going to have to do some more experimenting eventually with that though. Oh yeah, put it in LOCK and try to turn, it doesn't like that very much hehe. Sorry done whoring now.

I leave mine on auto, rev the living piss out of it and slip/drop (hard to describe, not a full drop, but hardly slipping at all) the clutch while at the same time mashing the gas. I control the launch/tire slip with the clutch not the gas. 1.71 60 ft on stock tires so far and getting better....slowly, just my opinion and technique.

I would also do this.

Works great, I often launch at 19-22psi.

btw, I have an auto, not a manual, that might make a bit of difference I'd guess. But then again, you weren't very specific.

slip it, then drop it..... remember brian were talking to noob's here..... you tell them to drop it..... they will do a 5500+ rpm clutch drop, and i really dont want to here about how he went out trying to lauch his car and took out first gear.....

Shut up.

Its the same as launching any car except you can launch at higher RPMs because you are putting power to 4 wheels. Naturally there will be more of a risk of breaking parts the harder you launch.

Now go home and cease posting.

Yes it is a link to a Subaru Imprezza Forum, but if you read through it should give you more than enough info to get you started on how a transmission works and not only how to launch but what causes transmission failure, and a better understanding on the parts that do fail inside.
