Default Re: Launch RPM

What kind of clutch? And why not have a 2 step? From a consistancy standpoint a 2 step will allow you to mat the gas and leave at a set RPM every time and allow you to concentrate on the tree.

A stock trans and aggressive clutch is not going to have a good outcome if it hooks. An alternative to not hurting parts, is to add air to the rear tires to aid in a somewhat controlled wheel spin. If you launch it at 7000 RPM and it hooks you are liable to find the weak link in the trans for sure. We only side step the clutch that is adjustable to slide. Even an adjustable clutch set too tight can tear up parts. Just some quick thoughts.

More information is needed on the engine and clutch. Is the car street/strip or strip only?
